Skoda Octavia Engine Management light and glow plug light

[construct_06]

Just bought a 2000 1.9 Tdi Ambiente Estate

When i turn on the ignition i do not see an engine management light come on/off as i would expect from other cars ive had. Is this unusual?

Also ive noticed that the glow plug light comes on after driving for a while, then goes off again?

Car seems to be driving fine. Only comment id make is that when starting, after the engine kicks in there is a further noise for a few seconds and then it goes...

help appreciated...

I notice you have posted your questions in another forum

I suspect possible answers are there if you search.

Was it a private purchase?

The glow plug light doubles up as the engine managment light.

aye, i did post in another forum!

yes i have found out in the meantime that the glowplug doubles up as the engine management light.

yes it was a private purchase. owner said it just needs to be reset at main dealers. car driving well anyway and good price so i went with it. money wasnt huge..

No harm to get the ecu "read" to see whats causing the light to illuminate.
