Hi All,
I have a '01 Golf 1.9L TDI that threw a P0380 code two days ago. Upon diagnosing the glow plugs, I found the left most glowplug blown as the ohms resistance was infinte, where all of my other glow plugs ( including the coolant plugs ) measure between .5 to .7 ohms.
My question is about the replacement of the burnt glow plug. Some people are telling me to replace all 4 engine glow plugs, others tell me that replacing just the one glow plug is alright, so long as I have the same brand.
I find the dealer here in Maple Ridge, BC wants $46.82/each, and Lordco wants $32.59 for Bosch, and $31.00 for Autolite brands. Another shop only sells BRU for approx $20/ea. Is there a recommended brand?
Is there a rule of thumb to replacing burnt out glow plugs that I should be following here?
Thanks for your assistance, and the code from the VAG-COM is pasted below.
