Hey folks,
I have a 2004 Passat, BHW. I've had a check engine light on for the glow plugs (cylinder 4) for a while now. Hadn't sorted it out cause I had no trouble starting but I need it to pass inspection so I'm getting around to taking care of it.
Here's what I've done:
I replaced the glow plug itself. Cleared codes, it came back.
I tried to replace the harness but I couldn't find where it connected to in the car so I took it to a mechanic.
I suppose the mechanic couldn't find where it connected to either so they clipped the end off of the new one, clipped the plug connector off the old one, e taped the **** out of it and charge me $200 to do it.
I am planning on trying to get a refund for the ruined part and the work they did because I am livid.
But as far as actually fixing the problem, does anyone have any insight as to where the glow plug harness actually connects to? I haven't been able to find any advice specific to my engine on this one.
