Correct that the glow plug light has nothing to do with glow plugs getting power. i was just making sure that the relay was trying to turn on the glow plugs
I think on all MKIIIs the glow plug fuse is above the fusebox. It will be a very large fuse (50A) which you can find a replacement at most car stereo shops.
i dont remember the part number of the relay off the top of my head but on the side of it is printed 'glühsteurgerat'.

do you have a multimeter? or a test light?
you are talking about the huge fuse above the fusebox right? the fuse in question is MUCH larger than the fuses 1-22 on the fusebox itself.
Is there a story here or did you just come out to the car and try to start it?

Story. As in, did you do an engine swap? Did you just buy the car? Was it recently abducted by aliens and now it wont start? that kinda story
The fuse in question is on top of the fusebox and mounted horizontally, not vertically like the rest of the fuses (1-22). It is mounted with the other relays on top of the fusebox. its going to be kinda hard to see, so take a flashlight.
