Will86 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Are they cleaned or changed when the coil symbol is illuminated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The coil symbol is signifying a fault within the system and a scan for codes should then identify the exact fault. Do you have access to a code reader or can you visit a local shop/dealer and get your VW scanned? Unfortunately shotgun cleaning or changing of parts has become a thing of the past! Keith.

Billggski Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 From euroserve in 2011 The glow plug warning message on 2.3 engined X250 vans does not normally indicate a problem with the glow plugs! There is a very common fault with chaffed wires in the loom under the nearside headlamp. This causes an undesirable earth which the computer assumes is a faulty glow plug. It will take an hour or so for a competent auto electrician to find and repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Billggski - 2019-01-10 2:05 PM The glow plug warning message on 2.3 engined X250 vans ... All very well Bill, but Will now has a VW! Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artheytrate Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I had an Auto Sleeper on a VW T4 chassis the glow coil light came on when it was about 12 months old, I took it to a diesel engineer and it was found that the brake light bulb had blown causing the glow coil warning light to come on.
