and you are correct, the higher the number, the colder the plug. Really, the higher the number, the later the plug will ignite the fuel/air mixture.

There are two different glow plug types: the in-cylinder variety and the in-manifold (“Thermostart”) variety. In the case of in-cylinder, there is a plug in every cylinder direct injected (or in the case of indirect injected, the glow plug is in the prechamber providing a hot spot to encourage ignition).
How many glow plugs does a Jetta TDI have?

Test the wire to the number one glow plug by placing the red lead on the buss bar number one wire and the black lead to the glow plug side. Again, .5 to 2.0 ohms with 2 ohms being the highest resistance.
