HELP OBD2 code PO673
 Any help would be appreciated. My 03 TDI engine light is on. I checked for the code using my cheap OBD2 scanner from Walmart! Its worked by referencing problem code P0673. I tried to cross reference this code with my VW workshop manual but this code is not listed. Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Mark.

When ever you can't find a code, try Google.
The code refers to "glow plug number 3 circuit" according to Google and seconded by Bentley.

?? Thank You
WOW Thank you for all the help. That light has been bugging me for months. Do you think its the #3 glow plug or something more challenging?
Maybe I am not that smart but I tried to google the code with a search VW OBD2 code PO673 but all it pulled up was this post and one other none related item. What it the best way to seach in google? I am a pretty good mechanic but codes are new to me.
Cheers, Thank's again.

Did you follow the link to the TDI glow plugs 101? They give you great help there. Yes something is wrong with either the #3 glow plug or the wiring to it.

More likely a dirty connection at the harness. Some DeOxit will help this. However, you can check out the glowplug with a multimeter to see if it is fried. If you live near a HarborFreight, you can usually pick up a digital multimeter for less than $5.

I never had a car new enough for a code reader. I am a gear head but this stuff makes my head hurt. I hate to let anyone work on my cars and bikes so I am sticking with it until it starts getting fun. I know what I need to do.
Thanks for all the help. As always I always you find great people connected with cars and bikes.
