gunner1980 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 My engine management light came on this morning when I started up my 55 plate Bora, along with this my glow plug light is flashing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be or had this prob before? I've done a quick search on google and that brings up that it could be the brake light switch but I've tested that and all my lights work fine. Cheers!

ronthenekred Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Had the same prob twice (passat) cleared the problem 1st time by replacing what seemed like good bulbs, 2nd time I disconnected the battery for 5 mins and reconnected. Be wary of radio codes though. It could actually be your glow plug/s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Best get the fault codes read by a garage to be sure. Not even worth speculating about the cause when you can plug into the car and it will tell you what is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner1980 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Took it to garage and the only fault that came up was the engine speed. Reset it anyway so we'll see if it returns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'd get it checked again, by a VW specialist reader as opposed to a generic code reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
