Hey, I’m just having this to trouble with mine, engine management light & flashing glow plug light. Had the exact same issue last September, guy who I have known a few years who does my MOTs had a look for me with the diagnostics machine, pointed to the DPF being blocked, despite the DPF light...

Just joined the forum for the exact same thing mate! Mines 59 plate 4 k miles and had the same light come on and cause it to go into limp mode. Did you get any explanation on yours?

Hi All, Another update - and maybe someone can shed some light on this? I couldn't resolve the glow plug fault myself after trying everything I could do, so I booked the van in to VW. It took forever to get an appointment due to covid set backs, but the van is currently there at time of...

It's possible that you have a faulty DPF differential pressure sensor and the ECU does not do a regen, and you are getting by with the passive regeneration as you drive but then getting a gradual build-up. I had my DPF DPS replaced for a similar issue. It is an easy fix, you could just replace...

I’ve got the same fault code and I’ve just carried out the basic setting as described and it did indeed fail. Here’s a pic of the outcome. It did about 10 seconds at 3000rpm then gave this result and the flashing coil light came on. I guess it’s time to replace the oil pressure valve.

Just coming out of York this morning and the glow plug heater light started flashing. Called VW they said it was ok to drive as no loss of power and no other lights on. Now at home waiting for a VW tech to come and check the Sandy out.

Thankyou @Skyliner33 yes it’s the glow plug light that’s flashing

I had some strange things on my t5.1 and the clever people on the forum told me to do a capacitive discharge (disconnect the battery and after a couple of seconds short the + and - leads together this will reset the electronics ) This may be worth a punt John

Hi, I'm having an issue with my van, the EML is on and glow plug light is flashing and i have 2 faults. I removed the boost pressure sensor and it was clogged with soot, I cleaned it but that didn't have any effect so I have one coming on tuesday, but the 2nd fault with the "open circuit message...

Mmi, thanks for your response. My mechanic originally used a snap on solus obd reader, which did struggle to read the engine type, however he then took it to a friend who specialises in vw’s and used his obd reader, which gave the daily code. He has swapped over the fuel rail, sensor &...

Hi Broke down the other day. Stop start warning on MFD, flashing glow plug light and then went into limp mode. I was stuck on a hill and couldn’t get going again. 8 hours later RAC transported us home. Local garage couldn’t find the fault. Had a full service and cam belt change a week before...

Hello, I bought my van from an private seller back in April 2024 and it has turned out to be one of the worst decisions ever. Less than 2 months into ownership, the VAN suffered a catastrophic failure and went into limp mode. The DPF showed readings of over 300% soot saturation with the...

You need to plug up to Carista or VCDS to see what error has been logged - it may be something else causing the flashing coil....

Towing large twin axle Caravan, 204 DSG 4 motion, towing fairly hard, glow plug light starts flashing, Oil temp up to 122 degrees, no loss of power, no EML light, carried on got home keyed off been ok since, any ideas, thanks.

Started the van and let it warm up this morning and the glow plug warning light was flashing. Took it for a drive down the road and it didn't stop, also it would appear that one or both of the turbos weren't kicking in,(limp mode?) I know he marine diesels have the flashing glow plug light for a...

Morning, I had my EGR pipe replaced on my 204 Swb Kombi about 2,000 miles back. There had been the flashing glow plug light on a couple of times which apparently pointed to the system needing to be flushed. Fast forward to a week or two back on a long journey back from France and the light...

It ain’t over... After 1000 miles a strange kazoo type noise from under the bonnet, flashing glow plug light and loss of power. Called the AA and it’s being recovered back to the dealer. The diagnosis said “Patrol found the following fault code/s:System : Engine control 1 - VEL / EDC Delphi DCM...

Hi garryproffitt@hotmail.co. I am having what appears to be a very similar issue to yours. Mechanic (a friend luckily!!) has replaced EGR, turbos, boost sensor and vacuum actuator but still getting the flashing glow plug dash light every so often. Would you mind explaining what you mean by the...
