    Turn Stalk doesn't cancel

    Previously, my turn stalk wouldn't cancel on left turns. We removed the dash for a heater core replacement and now the right turns don't cancel either. I replaced the stalk with another thinking that was the problem, didn't work. I've googled as well and can't find any info on this issue, just...

    Flashing Glow Plug Assistance (000741, 00750)

    My car doesn't have the cruise control silver box next to the white box behind the light switch, so I'm assuming it never came with cruise control.

    Flashing Glow Plug Assistance (000741, 00750)

    So... after replacing all the tail light and all brake switches, I found the problem after a year of troubleshooting a flashing glow plug light and the codes above. I had also purchased a cruise control switch to replace for when I did the heater core and flap rehab, but couldn't find where to...

    Flashing Glow Plug Assistance (000741, 00750)

    I was thinking about replacing the switches, again. I have VCDS but I don't recall the module I was in that monitored the 0's and 1's in real time while pressing the brake pedal. Might you know?

    I do have LED headlights. I hope and assume this isn't the problem. I'll try swapping out all the tail lights today as there were there before I purchased the vehicle.

    Anyone non-ABS running the 1" brake MC?

    I'm running 312mm fronts and 256mm vented rears on my MK3 TDI (all from MK4 20th anniv) and a full 5x100 swap. I tried the 24.5mm MC as i figured it would be needed with the upgrade but I didn't like how stiff it was. There was little room for pedal modulation. I went back to a stock 22mm MC and...
