Booster Heater Advice Please

[raymac]

Right changed glowplug 2 weeks ago and it's working ,but sometimes it doesn't kick in until quite a while into my journey like this morning at 6.30am it was 4.5c and when i got home it had still not kicked in so i took it back out and give it a spin around the block but drove it a bit more agressively than normal (plodder me is) when i got back jet engine running like a dream :lol: so do i need to give the engine a good rev on start up to make the booster heater kick in :wub: all advice welcome :lol:

sometimes I think mine does this - usually I threaten it with percussive maintenance first though - would like also so ideas on why - there is a delay

by percussive do you mean you give it a tonking with an object of a hard substance :lol: :wub:

Can you check vag-com for faults?? Mine seems to take up to 5 minutes/3 miles or so.
