When you turn the key on does the glow plug light on the dash come on, even for a second?
Your Dublin 2000 may be different then what we have on this side of the pond.

Yes it comes on and goes out

For some odd reason the glow plug codes need to be cleared with a suitable OBDII device like VCDS.

Cbub, suspect the glow plug harness.

My glow plug code disappeared on its own when I replaced the bad plug.

Tested it all with meter? Was it a short or long wire harness? Maybe a bit of differential in your crimp if it is a shorty, or a bad new gp. Test individual resistance and continuity in them and the harness. Being a 2000 its a two wire yes? Dodgy parts?
