I have an 06 Passat diesel estate and the 'Emissions Garage!' light has been on for about 2 years!! My local garage have interrogated the computer on numerous occasions and it always suggests that the glow plugs have a problem...so they were replaced initially....then the relay to them.... then the glow plugs again...and finally the garage replaced part of the loom as they told me this often went wrong and sent false messages to the computer. That lasted less than 24 hours before the light came on again. The best we have done is to get it to stay off for about 2 months.

The car starts and runs beautifully and I have not the slightest doubt that the glow plugs are fine - for instance, it started easily all last winter in that cold weather and was standing outside.

I am getting so frustrated with the wretched thing so if anyone has a shortcut to the probelm I would be delighted as the cost of getting nowhere is probably £350 + so far!
