I have over 108,000 miles on my 2001 Jetta TDI and coming back to Seattle after a round trip drive to Los Angeles, the glow plug warning light began flashing and the cruise control quit (at the same time). I was about 50 miles from home so I just drove home. Started fine the next day with no flashing and cruise working. Then when I was driving to the airport (about 30 minutes from my house) the glow plug warning light began flashing again just as I arrived at the airport (didn't check the cruise as I was on city streets). What do you think? Could this be related to the brake problem I've read about? Anyone in the Seattle area have a Vag-com? Am a single mom with no $ to take it to the dealer right now - and not sure if I did, they would help.
By the way, the car seems to run just fine when it's flashing. I almost feel like the engine is just breaking in! Your insight is very much appreciated!
