I used to like the glow plug light, My Mk 7 Golf as you say is now all automatic
??I think I turned the ignition on before the glow plugs warmed up. Does that make sense? I remember my VW Golf years ago where you had to wait a few seconds before fully turning the ignition key.
As above @Accy cyclist , tired battery, replace and forget , end of problem
The problem with my Golf is that it was on fire. Ruined the ownership experience.??
My 18 year old Golf MkIV TDI fires as soon as I turn the key. Even when the car is frosted over.
How do i stop spiders squatting in my door mirrors ?.... I evict them, they move right back in, and continue webbing the place up again. They also hang their little spider arses out of the wing mirror and crap down the door.
Ah, but the glow plugs, (assuming it was an oil burner) would have been toasty.The problem with my Golf is that it was on fire. Ruined the ownership experience.
