A4 2007 2.7TDI GLOW PLUG AND ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT ON.
Discussion
Hi
Had a bizarre incident on motorway today and wish to ask advice as to likely problems with my car. Travelling along the M5 in the outside lane the car in front either went over small piece of exhaust pipe or dropped small piece of exhaust pipe, it span into air and dropped right in middle of carriageway. I didn't have time to react an went over it immediately slowing down pulling off the motorway knowing my tyre would be punctured. Sure enough it was and I changed my tyre to the space saver. It had a big gash on the inside of the wall. Shortly after ten minutes down the road the glow plug symbol came on on the dash flashing. Shortly after this the engine management light followed. It surely must be as a result of the incident?? I have heard chat regarding brake switch being possible issue. Anybody any ideas? I assume I will have to take it in to get error code checked and then cleared? Could the pipe have done any damaged around the front drivers side tyre / brakes,etc which could cause these lights to come on? Hoping it wont be expensive!! to fix. Your help would be appreciated.
