004 Jetta BEW Glow Plug Recall, worn glow plugs at 1 year.
We had our 2004 Jetta TDI BEW in to the dealer a year ago in January. The glow plug recall had not been performed. So the first stop in the dealer they did a computer flash and installed 7v glow plugs N105916.09. The car did not like to start below 20 deg. F. I measured the voltage and it was 7 vdc than dropped to 5 vdc after a short time.
Second trip to the dealer, (rev. of recall) they did another flash and installed 7v glow plugs N105916.04. This week #4 glow plug failed. I removed the glow plug and it was eroded. I removed the other glow plugs and they are also eroded. I have N105916.09 glow plugs from my 05 Passat with over 100k miles and they are not eroded.
I checked with the parts department and the N105916.04 are updated to N105916.08. There is a difference in the metal. At the portion going into the head is a shiny metal like the N105916.09s. The N105916.04 appear to be the same metal to the tip.
Do I have glow plug module problem, injector problem, or just defective glow plugs and they have changed them to the -08 now?
The picture shows all for just removed -04s and one -09 with >100K miles.
Thanks!
