Faulty part probably, did you test it accross the battery or use the vehicles wiring? could be a wiring fault

I hope you fitted OEM Beru glows (assuming this is a tdi) and not cr@p 'County' ones that last less than a year and tend to seize in the head.... My tdi now has only 3 glows as one sheared off.

its a 2.5 n/a ,got these from paddocks. just been out to have a look at wiring all seems ok i cann't see it after it go's through bulk head though. ok so the only thing i can think of is that they not earthing themselves i believe they earth themselves, could i try attaching a earth (in wire form) to complete the circuit?
