Having toruble with my 2008 T5 Multivan.
I have a repeated fault that generally occurs heading uphill, under load, at constant throttle and the glowplug light starts flashing, with audible alarm, and power loss.
Originally it only happened up steeper hills at higher revs but now it appears to be happening more regularly.
Each time i have to turn the engine off and back on to re-set the fault.
I have tested the fault by 'pulsing' the accelerator which seems to fool the sensors / EMS and the fault does not occur.
I have read a number of posts which suggest issues with the DPF, Exhaust Pressure Sensor, and / or brake light system but am still mildly confused where to start
Off to the mechanics so would appreciate some advice on narrowing down where to look first.
Cheers.
