Hi all, sorry for a lengthy post, just looking for some advice as waiting for my T6 to be seen.
8 weeks ago the glow plug light came on, checked code with mechanic and it said Intake manifold stuck shut. Turned the light off, filled tank with shell v power and light has been off for 8 weeks.
I’ve just got back from driving in Europe. The day I left, glow plug light came on. Turned van off and on, light stayed off. Drove to Folkestone , crossed into France and drove to Luxembourg. Light still off at this point. After stopping at services, the Engine management light/ Emissions light came on. This was permanently on the dash and not flashing. Drove from Luxembourg to Switzerland and for the last 45 mins, the glow plug light started flashing and put me into limp mode.
4 days stationary in Switzerland , turned van on and no lights on dash. Across 2 days, drove 6 hours up into Germany with still no lights on the dash. After 2 days in Germany, 5 hour drive back over to Belgium and the EML came back on permanently. The EML light is now still on the dash after driving back from Bruges to Cardiff (7 hour drive).
Filled the van again with Vpower and a diesel additive to try and clear out carbon/soot etc but the light is still on.
Looking for advice as I have seen people on here that have had the same problem, replaced intake manifold and still having the warning lights. Just wondered if it could be anything else that’s triggering both lights intermittently
Any help would be appreciated
