Why does VW Golf glow plug warning light flash?

Hi all,

l have Golf mk4 but most cars vw use the same parts.

glow plug or "spring" light on my board started to flash, found on line two reasons ...
Before, check your book but not much over there for that problem so as l said there is two reasons that l know.
1. electric problem with back breaking lights, both bulbs were blown so check the all the bulbs or..

2. break pedal switch has stuck or gone, so found any car parts shop and ask for one.

Very easy to replace, take off the panel above the pedals , there is three screws to undue and simply you have access to break pedal switch. Replace it with new one.

Soon as l have done that glow plug light stopped to flash, there was no further issues.

have someone with you cos in the day light make sure break lights are working properly.
Or simply use the mirror, that's what I've done.

You will find on line many answers and pictures of how to do that but on some there is just too many things to take off, SO IT IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE !!!

Hope this helps.
