lol my 98 TDI glowplug light goes on for 1 second no matter what, hot or cold, i'm tracing the problem to my glowplug control module that connects to the coolant glowplugs and coolant sensor i believe, if i take out the coolant sensor i get a full 20 seconds, but even with the way it is now it starts up great but only cause its fall weather, winter i need to get it fixed.

That's impressive. My 98 TDI has always started for me, but it's usually a lot rougher than that if the temperature is that far below freezing.
