I wonder if anybody has encountered my problem and can offer advice. My passat recently developed a problem, when I started the engine it died almost immediatly. This would occur maybe 2--- to 6 times then would run no bother. When it occured the one indicator was that the glow plug? pre-heater? symbol would show on the dash. I left it into a garage and they put it on diagnostics and that indicated the ignition switch was faulty, what puzzled me was that the glow plug was the constant indicator. Has anybody encountered this problem and if I do replace the ignition switch does that solve my problem. I bought new in 2006 --- 60,000 on clock.
