I had the flapper motor this past summer after I replaced the glow plugs for steel. VW also re programmed for the steel plugs. I am fining more & more a problem starting when cold, even when I have plugged in for several hours with Zero temp. I cycle plugs 2 to 3 times to help but still hard starting. Any suggestions.

Just got off the phone with 5th Ave Auoto Calgary. Software problem VW are working on it will be a recall.
Will keep you posted.
Best dealer since giving up on Northland VW Calgary.
