Intermittent Fault


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I have a 2003 Seat Arosa 1.4 Tdi.

I have had this problem twice now so it's not just a fluke. The other day driving along at 70mph. The glow plug light comes flashing on I lose power. I press the clutch down to coast to the layby but taken it up again it wasn't in limp mode. Checked my scangauge no faults.

Now today I was sitting in traffic idling. It just cut out. Tried restarting, engine turns but wouldn't catch. Glow plug light isn't coming on. I was on a hill so I put the key to the 2nd click and wrestled the car to pull over. Just as I was about to pull over the glow plug light came on and I heard the lift pump priming. Turned the key and it fired like nothing had happened.

I don't know if this is something to do with the glow plug relay or the immobilizer. But any suggestions on what or where to look would be appreciated.
