What Does the Flashing Glow Plug Light Mean on Volkswagen Golf VI

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VI, MK 6, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Warning light – error code

In this video, we clearly understand what the flashing glow plug light on the instrument panel means in this case for a Volkswagen Golf VI, but generally for all Volkswagens: many think that if this light is flashing, there is a problem with the glow plug system. However, if we read the Volkswagen owner's manual, we find that if the light is steadily on, it indicates the preheating period for a diesel engine, meaning that we should not start the engine until the light goes out. If it is flashing, it indicates a fault in the engine management system, and to identify the fault, it is necessary to use a diagnostic tool.
