Additionaly my VW TDI the glow plugs all were within spec but it still through a code. Along with rough idle and white smoke. Replacing the glow plugs solved the problem.
As I understand it. The glow plugs remain on after starting for a time.
Emissions no doubt.

glow plugs should be fine, I have no codes and the car starts excellent except for the shacking(half a minute). On my tdi the car ran fine even without the glow plug harnes on, anyway I think the GP-s are helping under 38- 40 degres F.
