Hi.

A quick question.

When I select the TDI graph using VAG-Com, and the graph appears/curve is drawn, the glow plug light blinks for me. This light also indicates, for example, when the engine is in a limp mode, or it blinks when there is an error in the engine control unit (which I have experienced before).

When I exit the TDI graph and return to the main menu, this light goes out!
I couldn't find the stored error when trying to read it.

Is this normal?


Thank you very much.


Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

'cu' is a Spanish abbreviation for 'con usted,' which means 'with you.' It is often used in online communication to indicate that the sender is available to chat or talk.

Here is an example of how 'cu' might be used in a conversation:

Person A: 'Hey, I'm bored. Want to chat?'
Person B: 'Cu!'

This means that Person B is available to chat with Person A.

'Cu' can also be used to indicate that the sender is thinking about the recipient. For example, if Person A sends a message to Person B and then receives a reply that says 'cu,' it could mean that Person B is thinking about Person A and wants to connect with them.

Overall, 'cu' is a versatile abbreviation that can be used in a variety of ways. It is a common way to indicate availability, interest, or affection in online communication.

Hello,
'In my case as well, the preheating indicator light illuminates when I access group 00 in VAG-COM. As far as I can tell, this seems to be normal behavior.'
Goodbye.

Hi,

In the default setting mode, the preheating indicator light always blinks as a control.

Be glad if it's just blinking...

'My car then displays the text message 'engine fault, workshop' and, in addition, emits a piercing squeal... and it's non-stop. IT'S SO ANNOYING that I'd rather remove the laptop from the car... thankfully, I'm a bit of a fetishist when it comes to cable lengths icon_wink.gif'.

'And mine once had short bursts of acceleration accompanied by excessive black smoke and a bunch of error messages!'
