Audi A3 1.9 TDI - Glowplug lights flashing

LSfan

The glow plug light started flashing and the engine management light is on constantly - the car does not sound or drive and different.

A quick google suggests this could be the brake switch but all the brake lights and headlights are working as normal

can anybody shed any light as to what the problem could be?

the car is 58 plate

Don't know but I have had the gow plug light on for 10 months now.

For the cherokee it is from the front in numerical order (ease to change):-

1:- Piece of cake
2:- Not too bad
3:- Bit of a bu$$er
4:- Your having a laugh !

So working on the principle that Sods Law applies and it will be number 4 so I just carry on driving.

Check your brake lights. It may be the brake light sensor. You will need vag-com to check.
