Skoda Octavia preheater light comes on during normal driving

Car: Skoda Octavia
Variant: TDI Auto
Model Year: 1996
Categories: Leaks & Noises
the preheater light(glow plug)comes on erratically during driving affecting the acceleration of the car.Recently the car "died" when in the right hand lane of a dual carriageway- scary!! Having pulled over and turned off the engine and re-started the problem disappeared but the light still appears.

So many possible causes you really need to get it scanned with VAG-COM and see what shows .
