I am not a car person, so I do not know all the names and terms. I have worked on our truck (which is a chevy), but I am a little wary about working on the VW.
Right now I have 2 questions:
1st: When you replace a glow plug is there a way to clear out the engine check light? Last year we replaced one and the light never cleared. When we took it in to be inspected we were told by the dealer that all the glow plugs needed to be by the same manufacturer. Is that a load of crap? It kind of seemed it to me. They ended up changing them for the cost of the parts because I said I would pick it up, change them to match the ones we got at the auto store and bring it back. If this is true, when I change the one that needs changing now, should I just replace them all and will that clear the light out?
2nd: A little more tricky because I don't know all the names and terms, but it is currently very sluggish and wanting to stay in 1st gear much longer. It will be really slow to accelerate and then all of a sudden start zooming along. Is this a filter that needs changing or something that may be clogged?
Thanks
