[OT: TDI] Eternal error code & stealership

[scirocco at vintagewatercooleds.com (Eric S)]

Find someone in your area with a VAGCOM and scan it.  Give us the actual
code, and we'll go from there.

Glowplug harness is about $25 if I remember correctly...if the code is
coming from the glow system, thats first part to throw at it.  Mine went
bad in 10k miles!
