Engine Maintainance light on

Hi I have VW Golf 2005 and the engine maintainance light is permanently on. It came on few months ago and I was told by VW dealer that is was a glow lamp light. Could it be the same again

This could most likely be one of 2 things, 1. if it is your maintainance light, it is probably one of your sensors, possibly the mass air filter sensor, oil pressure sensor, and 2. If it is a diesel engine and its the glow plug light, you would need to replace your glow plug relay because it telling you that the glow plugs are still on when the engine is running, which you should take care of asap before you have to replace the glow plugs themselves.
