I have a 1998 TDI Jetta with about 37,000 miles on it... and my check engine light keeps coming on.... HELP! The car has only ever been serviced by VW dealership who sold me the car. The light came on, they told me it was the wiring harness so $200 later I have a new one. 100 miles later the light is on again.... dumb blonde girl that I am I go back to the dealership and think they'll help me out.... then they say it's the glow plug relay (some plug thing) $200 more and the light is off.... 50 miles go by and the light is on again. This time I'm furious. I take it back and their response is "well we'll do the best we can" -- can anyone offer some help? I think that a 4 yr old TDI with only 37k on it shouldn't be having engine troubles... I know I'm just a young chick, but I don't want to be paying the dealership $400 for nothing. Today they said it was glow plug #4 and they replaced it for free (of course I already paid them $400 for crap I didn't need... or at least I'm not convinced I needed).... I have also noticed nice black clouds when shifting into 2nd or 3rd and accelerating..... maybe I'm a bad driver.... but... uh.... hmmm.... HELP!
