Hi,
I have a 2000 Beetle TDI (34,000 Miles) with the following problem"
Fault Code 16764 Gloplug/Heater Circut (Q6) Malfunction 35-10 intermittent.
The dealer told me I have one bad gloplug plus two with low resistance.
Cost per glowplug - $48.00
Labor to replace all three - $281.00
Total cost $425.00 (ouch!)
First off, what would cause LOW resistance on a gloplug
This is the first non-warranty work this car has needed. I would prefer to change out the plugs myself. How difficult is it to access the plugs? Does it justify $281.00 in labor costs?
Thanks,
Glenn
