Yesterday, my glow plug started flashing. (I had my fuel injector pump replaced 2 months ago.) When I got to work an hour later the brake light wouldn't go out. Went to the dealer and was told about the recall for the brake light switch. Getting that done tomorrow and they'll check the flashing glow plug out. My question: Can the two problems be related? The service guy said absolutely not. They are not connected in any way. The switch will be replaced under the recall but they'll dig into the flashing glow plug and let me know what's up. Does this sound right? It's just really strange that they both happened within an hour of each other. Could the defective switch trip the glow plug somehow? And why wasn't I notified about the recall?? I have an '03 Jetta TDI. Help out a very unmechanical person!
