Sooo... I finally got the car back together and it actually started and ran around the block WOOHOO!!!
Thats the good news... now the bad news... I was so excited about getting the car out of the garage that I ran over my plastic timing belt cover.
While the car was running I got 2 lights... the engine light and the blinky glow plug light. The vag-com was hooked up so i searched for faults. Only thing that came up was:
3 Faults Found:
17055 - Cylinder 1 Glow Plug Circuit (Q10): Electrical Fault
P0671 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
17057 - Cylinder 3 Glow Plug Circuit (Q12): Electrical Fault
P0673 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
17058 - Cylinder 4 Glow Plug Circuit (Q13): Electrical Fault
P0674 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
So am I to think I have 3 bad glow plugs? a bad harness? bad relay somewhere? I didnt have this problem 4 months ago when the car was running. The harness is the same but the glow plugs that are in there came with the used head I bought. The head was low mileage but had some nastiness on it (probably from sitting out).
I've got a couple of sets of plugs so I could change those out but seeing as how its 3 and its an "intermittent" problem, my guess is that its something else. Was I supposed to put that dialectric grease in there?
Any ideas?
