must be a US thing, :P

Flashing GP light will the car is running usually means a fueling issue,

GTiTDi:
 The flashing glowplug light can mean much more than a fueling issue, often times it is a result of a failed or misadjusted brake light switch, glow plug circuit issues, etc.

Does this connect with #4 bad glow plug code...when that plug is fine
BECAUSE OBD #s the glow plugs in reverse???  02 ALH

A friend of mine tells me she's only had one issue in like 5 years...sometimes when boosting up a hill, it loses power until she removes and replaces the fuel cap.  Clever girl, but what's the real solution?

Best threads I found explaining what clutch setup to use for the SMF in TDI.

smutts:
Vibrating belt tensioner pulley, usually a seized (siezed?) freewheel pulley on the alternator.
But when I sorted my knackered freewheel pulley, I was disappointed that there was more flapping of the tensioner than I would like.

When the idler pulley fell (melted!) off a few months later... "rattle clunk tinkle" bye bye power steering, hello hedge! Once replaced, the tensioner was dead steady. So tensioner vibration can also be due to a dying idler pully.  ;)
