Audi A6 TDI: Glow Plug Warning Light On?

What could that be?


'The warning light normally goes off when the engine starts, but after a few minutes of driving, it suddenly starts blinking. It then blinks for a few minutes and sometimes goes off again, but sometimes it comes back on.'

Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know what it might be?

'Thank you.'

Hello!

The fact that the light is blinking clearly indicates that the engine control unit has detected a fault. To find out what the problem is, it's best to take the vehicle to a workshop and have the error codes read.
It has also blinked a few times for me. The cause, however, was quite harmless; the turn signal switch was slightly 'misaligned.' This resulted in an entry in the error memory and the warning light blinking.

It's definitely not a known issue with this engine. The only thing that can help now is to read the error codes, then we can say more about it.

I've experienced something similar with my 2.5-liter engine before: I had previously run the tank completely empty.

Thank you for your tips.
Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English.
