    FS:2003 5 Spd ALH Jetta Wagon $3,500 - San Antonio, Texas

    Is that the car that Robby found a valet key taped to the front grill with electrical tape? Was there for waiting something being done on my car, and commented on the color because it was the color of caliche dust on our roads. Sorry if I am mistaken...

    Moving on from MKIV ?

    25 years ago, the ALH was in the new Beetles here in the US. Was it used in any other cars/trucks in Europe (or elsewhere), especially 4 motion? wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines ) had these listed (1999's also included): Audi A3 (8L): ALH...

    Glow plug relay shorted and melted

    The harness replacement is a good idea, and really not wasted money. It is almost like a circuit that should shut off with the ignition switch being off, but somehow stays on, draws current, then melts stuff. Those readings for glowplug resistance are all good.

    Glow plug relay shorted and melted

    After I read your initial post about the first glowplug relay you discovered as your parasitic drain, I was trying to run down the parasitic draw on my wife's car. Before I could get to her car, since she was out of town, I experimented on my car (almost identical). I disconnected the glowplug...

    Air Conditioning worked intermittently and stopped...

    Fan Control Module went on mine, and fans would run after shutting engine off. Eventually, I got your symptoms. Not hard to access bolts from top, near battery tray, if you have a manual transmission. $25 part. Hardest part was getting both electrical clips undone from underneath
