Hi, my glow plug warning light has just started flashing. Could someone please tell me the possible causes and how to correct it. T5 2007 Transporter Four Motion. 2.5 diesel.
This is not something new, exactly the same on my '01 T4. VW just use the glow plug light for multiple uses.
Yep...does double duty on the T4 diesels as a 'check engine' light. Which is kind of bizarre when the only time I've seen it flash is when the brake light switch has turned turtle
Could be worse I s'pose...it could just dump the entire driveline into 'limp home' mode instead. That'd be fun.
Yes we have to live with all this technology , I was working on a new Peugot 308 , apparently the car is fitted with tyre pressure monitoring and if the tyres are changed it has to be recalibrated through a computer DUH.
check your brake lights are working.
If not, replace/repair brake switch.
Known problem
Thank you very much, also ''Scouser'' ''Jets'' and ''Seano''. That's exactly what it was. I had a new switch shipped up from Melbourne last night. Installed it this morning. End of problem. It pays to ask the question to see if there is a simple solution before spending money on fault scans. If it's of interest to anyone TRIDON make an aftermarket switch which costs $30.00. The part number is TBS 092.
