My 02' Golf did this a few years ago and it was due to both brake lights being out. Try replacing these first but as jfettig recommends it would be a good idea to scan for the codes as well.gah, blinking glow plug light... I don't have time for this. From what I've read it may be related to brake lights? or the switch? or is that wishful thinking. When I start the car - the gpl cycles (although quickly - thanks Terry!) and after idle for 15+/- sec. it starts blinking.
When mine had GP issues the GP light came on solid, not flashing.Scan away, but it still sounds like the harness to me, otherwise how would it know your brake lights were out until you pressed them. 15 sec's is what I remember with my harness issues. You can also try to clean the connections at the glow plugs.
I think my car painting days are OVER!Not bad, do mine next
Welcome! Take a look at this list of TDI's available stateside: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=324509Hello everyone. first post here. My name is Jeremiah. ive been thinking about getting Diesel VW for a commuter car. I currently own an 02 dodge diesel that i bought new so im not completely unfamiliar with diesels and have a ford focus for every day. needless to say the focus lacks in the mileage department.
I joined this forum so i can research more about the various tdi's. i havent spent a lot of time on here but i just wanted to say HI for starters.
Friend told me that i should look for an ALH car so thats what im here to research.

I swapped out the rear hub Saturday. The ABS tone ring is built into the back of the hub. The ABS sensor is held in with an o-ring and clip. Pretty simple to swap out.Does anyone have any experience changing a rear wheel bearing/hub on a B5.5? I think I have my rogue noise figured out.
NAPA has hub assemblies from ~$80.00 to ~$230.00. Two say no ABS, the third doesn't say. Of course the third is the $230.00 one.
I have not torn into it yet. I wanted to have the parts on hand before I did.
Any Idea on the rear ABS setup? Is the tone ring or whatever in the hub assembly, or a piece that bolts in?)
This is the time of year to buy a TDI, because of the seasonal pattern to fuel prices. Sellers of VW TDIs are getting desperate, because cheap gasoline makes petrol-powered cars more desirable.what is everyone opinion about the kelly blue book values for tdi's? most are asking significantly more (30-50%) then book value. ive seen some around book but need work and lower milage manuals are close to double book.
for example i was looking at manual jettas in the 96-03 range.
Thanks much!!
