Hi everyone. I've a frustrating problem that perhaps someone can help solve for me. I've a 2011 Jetta TDI. The motor will crank over but won't start. The car has been at the dealership for 2 weeks. Initially the in-tank fuel pump died and was replaced with a new filter as well by BCAA (British Columbia Automobile Association) shop. The car ran for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped running. Took it back to BCAA and they couldn't find the problem. Towed it to the VW dealership. They found that the 2nd. fuel pump was not pushing enough fuel to the High Pressure Fuel Pump, as I was told it was only pushing 0.66 bars, and should have been 3.something bars. The dealer replaced both the second pump and the High Pressure Fuel Pump, but the engine still won't run. It just turns over. The car has 60,000 kms (40,000 miles). The dealership is puzzled as to why it won't run. The car shows no codes....that everything is fine. They asked about the fuel maybe being bad and where I filled up. I don't think the fuel is the problem as my truck has the same and it runs just fine, plus I was told by BCAA that they drained the tank and put in fresh fuel as a possible solution.
I intend to sell the car back to VW but to do so, it has to be running. What can be causing this problem? I'm stumped, and so is the dealer. Do the 2011's have a 109 relay, or something like it? If so, the glow plug light on the dash still comes on and goes off when ready. Any assistance and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
