Aug 18, 2008 · Edit How I did NOT clear CEL/MIL - Still Issues after replacing 03G 128 063T I had these two faults (below) which triggered a flashing glow plug light (GP Lt) on occasion, once every 3-6 months.

Aug 1, 2010 · Drove at lunch and home again in the evening, the light on the whole time, but engine seemed normal. This morning I ran errands, driving normally.

Tried earthing individual wire to throttle body earth = fault still occurred.

May 8, 2018 · Sitting on the side of the road, waiting for the roll back. Car just quit accelerating. Felt like a throttle cable snapped. CEL came on. Was able to coast to a safe spot with the engine running, albeit a bit rough. Pulled my code scanner and got P0638 which is a throttle position code for bank 1. Where should I start looking once I get it home?

Dec 21, 2016 · And last night, I started the car and immediately got the flashing glow plug light. I was able to drive home without any of the symptoms others have described (unable to throttle, slow pickup, limp mode, engine shudder, etc.) It drove just fine. I …

Feb 13, 2010 · Just an FYI - I experienced flashing glow plug and check engine lights with a service now message in the center display. I scanned the car with VCDS and found the p0638 code below.
