    Hello all
    The frosts came and my passat b6 ,, 2.0 TDI 16V BKP engine '' stopped firing yesterday morning without a problem and in the afternoon it no longer turned off, but after a while went out I checked everything and Aku is ok the glow plugs I checked and seem to be in working order wonders me one current on the candles after turning the key appears for about 1 second 12v and then jumps 2 volts candle light goes out for about 10 seconds and then 0 volts. And I have a question whether this is going to be something or failure?

    You need to check the candles, the voltage says nothing about their heating. You have PWM, and the meter for 35 zlotys doesn't overwhelm it.

    When it comes to candles, I checked by applying a battery cable straight to it, and 70% spark on each candle, so I can say that they are ok, I was afraid to unscrew them for fear of breaking, first I'd prefer to consult with someone the voltage that goes on the candles because in my opinion if the engine is cold then at least 5 seconds should be 12 vau me it is only a second I have tried even with the temperature sensor detached but it is the same. As for the meter, I do not know why you immediately assume that 35. For your awareness, although I do not know if it is a helpful meter is FLUKE 189, so a little more than 35 PLN

    Use a 21W light bulb if the voltage is right, you'll see.
    Second, ask the driver if he has any errors.
    Third, measure the current of each candle separately.

    Oki tomorrow I'll try to check the light. I also have a Passat b5 1.9 at home and there, after turning the key, the candle indicator lights up in cold weather for about 5 seconds and only then goes out and here after a second and this confused me :D and I don't know about PWM in cars.

    B5 B6 is the divide that shares them with everything.

    You will burn such a candle as you give it 12V.

    It won't burn because the glow plug is on 12V.

    It is not. PWM are controlled, each separately.

    Exactly, e.g. the candle in BLB 2.0 has a 4.4 V operating voltage. Atari onboard nicely informs about a damaged candle and its location. Just talk to him. Check the fuel topic by the way. For me, despite the 28st blockade, the fuel thickened in the pipes under the audiczka, burned what was in the filter and stood up. Wiocha was merciless, like a cordless Cordoba, I was pulling such a nanny. Half a day of warming up, venting and gone.

    Hello
    As for the hmm fuel, you can take this into account although I will add that exactly a month ago I replaced all filters and the fuel was refueled with the best fuel that is probably v-power at the same station as always. The car, of course, I was able to light the candles are OK, the computer failed to indicate any. I bet on a weak battery because it is already 8 years old :) weak starting current, lack of starter dynamics and hence this problem. But that's just my guess. Maybe someone else will add something in the subject, and I would read more about PWM, if someone would recommend something sensible it would be a fairy tale

    Regards

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a VW Passat B6 with a 2.0 TDI 16V BKP engine that failed to start in cold weather. The user noted that the glow plugs received 12V for only about one second during the cold start, which raised concerns about their functionality. Various responses suggested checking the glow plugs' heating capability, using a light bulb to test voltage, and measuring the current for each glow plug. Some participants mentioned the importance of fuel quality and potential issues with the battery's age affecting starting performance. The conversation also touched on the differences in glow plug operation between the B5 and B6 models, as well as the use of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for controlling the glow plugs.
