anyone know what this warning light is on my vw caddy?

Ghandee

Recently my van (07 Caddy) hasn't been running the best.
Best way to describe the symptoms would be that it kind of feels like its missing, ie if it was petrol, its nearly say it want firing on all cylinders.
When idling, the engine is pretty shaky (steering wheel vibrates etc) sometimes turning ignition off and on helps.

I'm thinking glow plugs, but to be honest don't have a clue lol.

Attracted Pic its the warning light that's been lit up now since Sunday evening.

Thanks for you're help.

That's the general engine light.
You need the error codes read at a garage, or if someone here offers to read them for you.

Its the engine management fault light. It doesn't give you any indication of whats wrong, just that something is wrong. You need to have the fault diagnosed with a decent diagnostic computer.

It's not the glow plugs, that's the double looped coil (spring like) light.

The check engine light could be any number of things, but if you're getting shaking etc, then it's probably more than just a faulty sensor.

Best get it checked out, and check your overfraft arrangments.
