Hey there, I'm new to all these tdi motors. I'm in the process of buying a 1996 Passat tdi and when I looked at it, the glow plugs didn't work. It fired up fine as it's not cold here now, but after I drove it around the block and shut it off, I started it up again and the glowplug icon came on for about 1 sec then shutoff again. I put a test light in the plug that plugs into the glowplug and there's no power getting to it. Buddy said he thinks it's something to do with the glowplug module, wherever that is. I did some searching on here and all I can find is the fuse and relay for the glowplug circuit but no module. I'm assuming a 1 of the 2 but has anybody had this problem before? As well, when I went to unlock the door with the key, the back windows rolled down about 2 inches, that can't be normal?? Front windows don't work at all and sunroof leaks somewhere lol.
