Evening girls and boys.....
posting on behalf of my mum here, she seems to have developed a problem on her 98 tdi A3, i THINK its a tdi 90 ( was sold as a tdi110 but has 280mm front brakes, and feels slow)
anyway, apparently, when its started up, after 30 seconds ticking over, the glow plug light comes on and stays on.
my dad says theres no noticable loss in power, and it seems to run fine still....
the manual would suggest that its an engine management issue, and its gone into safe/limp mode, but surely if its driving fine and no dip in power, this cant be the case?
any ideas?
