I was at my buddies house last week admiring his "new" A3 Jetta TDI. When he tried to cold start it his glow plug light came on for no more than a second, turned off and then as he went to start it, the Jetta turned over several timed before finally firing.
I walked over to my A3 Jetta to show him how it should work...I turned the key on, glow plug light came on for 2-3 seconds, went off and my TDI immediately fired, (as usual.)
Yesterday I went to cold start my A3 TDI and the glow plug light only stayed on for maybe a second and when I tried to start it the Jetta turned over 4-5 times before firing where it usually fires as I bump the key.
I did a search and only came up with the blinking glow plug light, which is not the issue here. Does anyone know what causes this? Very irritating! My A3 warms my heart every time I hear it pop off so easily and not it's embarrassing me!!
Thanks,
