Any helpful information would be appreciated, especially how to change a glowplug should that be the problem.

The wife is getting perturbed that I am borrowing her Veloster. I will walk you through the basics of using VCDS scan tool, including coding, fault codes, MVB, Basic settings, adaptation, Graphing, and more. Louis VW dealer where I bought the car and was of course advised that such code could mean, literally, anything and to 'get it here as soon as possible' so they could deal with it Not knowing what horrors I'd encounter there considering this car is out of warranty I did some research regarding the OBD scanners and found this one for sale at Amazon: Autel MaxiService VAG505 VW AUDI SEAT SKODA OBD2 Code Scan Diagnostic Tool it seems it may be the only one available without mortgaging my house that will read the 2011TDI information. Went to Autozone this morning for their free OBD checkup and was told the trouble was a 'defective glowplug' according to their P13CE code. Now with 40K miles the CEL has blazed on a day or two ago and I have no idea what to do besides to park it which I did. Because I feel so ignorant regarding the TDI miracle engine I've seldom approached this forum since I got my first 2011 Golf TDI new that year.
