About 50% of the time when I stick the key in the ignition, the glow plug light doesn't come on. When I try to start it, it cranks over for a while before starting. Are the glow plugs supposed to come on before each start? What could be wrong? It starts fine when the light comes on and I wait for it to go out.
This is a TDI engine?
IIRC the glow plugs don't heat if the temp is above 40F
Ooops, my bad...
I see in your post "Burnin lots of oil" you don't list a TDI--went by your Sig.
My 2006 golf TDI was destroyed by a rear end collision.

I took the money from the insurance settlement and bought an 81 1.6 NA. Plan on converting it to a TD. :twisted:
