    HELP! Flashing glow plug light on MK6 TDI

    Hey Guys,

    Started my car after work this afternoon and the glow plug symbol flashed a few times with a message displayed on the MFD "fault in engine management system. Car started fine and drove home from Sydney to Gosford without a problem. Taking it to the dealer first thing in the morning to get it checked. Any ideas what may be causing this error?

    Many things could be the cause. You've done the right thing, taking the car in ASAP is very important especially when you have the DPF.
    How many km have you done?

    It only flashed about 4-5 times and then went out. Turned car off and on again and it didn't flash this time. Had no choice but to drive home but borrowing a mates car to get to work tomorrow. Guess I'll just wait and see what dealer says. Ive done 54000ks plus a little not sure exactly not at home so can't check...

    Turns out it was a sporadic fault with the wiring loom where it connects to the accelerator pedal. New wiring loom ordered to be fitted next week.
