Gentlemen: I have spent DAYS on the net trying to figure this out, here goes: 2001 ALH Golf. Just completed full Rebuild of ALH + 6 speed conversion. Malone stage 3 tune, Colt Stage 3,Ported, studded,Rods,3" ss exhaust, PD goodies, FMIC, etc... and now I have a problem... actually two but this one first:Error Code P0380. The Engine runs good....when I can get it to start. VCDS Timing upper end of advance on the graph, IP set at 5. Its cold here in the Okanagan now, about zero degrees. Problem is: I cant get the Glow plugs to power up - at all ( It just Blips on my Telemetry LED ). NEW: GP`s+ harness ( 4 wire),ECU pin #88 checked for power and there is 12v when key on.All grounds cleaned + wires checked. NEW Fuses, Relay #100, New Optima Battery, and also new GP controller. I have tried EVERYTHING others found wrong with their car with no luck including trying a 2nd stock unmodified ECU - with no change. I have VCDS and I coded for extra GP time... does nothing. I wired in 4 LED`s for Telemetry so I can see Real time when the Glow plugs are actually receiving Power.
Heres a hint that one of you Pro`s might see what I dont. With the 4 wire GP system - GP controller unplugged: Key on , there is 12V power at Pin 87 , D1 , ST , and 30. Key off there is only power at pin 30. From what I had Read the Glow plug controller should be getting a 5V pulsed signal , not 12v like I am measuring at the GP controller plug. Also this car was an Automatic previously to all my conversion. Could I have a wire going to the wrong place during the wiring Mods ?. I really appreciate any input, Thank you....Mike
