Can anybody figure this one out? I got smoke when I replaced the glow plug relay with the engine running. The replacement had seven prongs and the original had like 5. The secondary (solenoid) contacts apparently fried instantly. 5 seconds later the engine quit. Now engine wont start--lights on Instrument panel light then a second later shut down and 2 seconds later fuel guage works and engine light on. Saw all lights on initially for a brief. Original relay put back in but no apparent damage to wires or fuses. Interior of relays lok good. Interior lights work as do door locks. Any idea what the H... happened and what I can check to fixer? I will try vag com if I can find my cable. niner3d
