VAGCOMDisable GlowPlug Check?

[KentSzabo]

Does anyone know how to disable the glow plug chech using a VAGCOM?
My CEL was on for GlowPlug #3 and #4, so I ordered four and installed 1 through three, but at number four it appears to be cross threaded and not having the proper tap to re-tap the hole if I force and back out the plug I decided to see if there is some way to disable that stupid check of the glow plug circuitry. The moron who thought that one up should have been shot.

Don't think you can disable that, it is there to let you know there is a problem...

I thought the CEL light will turn off after so many start cycles or so much time.

That may be true, but I haven't seen it as I have been clearing the codes with the VAG-COM in hopes that it will stay off. I guess I'll ley it go for a few months to see if it clears on its own.

Buying the proper tap is not an option? What's a single thread tap worth? $5 to $20 for something that size? Pretty insignificant in the overall cost of maintaining and operating a car...
