I started asking questions on this glow plug topic but was posting in the glow plug 101 area at this link so im relocating this post here in order to be in the right VW model car area of the forum.

today i pulled the covers off to find that the glow plug closest to the belts was disconnected. and that the one closest to the firewall failed ringing out at a wopping 272.5 ohms . i checked the other 3 and all were .6ohms. i dont have the vag-com scanner but using a Mac Mentor with the VW software i was able to see the two codes and clear them and connect the one plug that was just laying there and see the other one with high resistance fail. again thanks to MoGolf for his advice on this issue.
i can take pictures during the replacement if anyone would like to see them done on this model engine.
