I'm not sure the early jetta glow systems were that way.. The TDI glow plug system may glow even when hot. It didn't do it before I started messing with the pump... I haven't checked the compression but I'm pretty sure its up there. It starts really well when cold, no extra cranking at all. I thought even with the glow plugs low compression engines started hard when cold.
