Hi,
I had several issues with my tdi, and I'm trying to get it running. I have replaced the battery, 4 glo plugs, wiring harness, fuel filter. I have primed the fuel filter by vac fuel through it. I pulled over 1 quart of fuel through the new filter in a jar via my elec vac pump. All good. the engine turns, just won't fire without fuel. It won't start. I loosened the 4 nuts on the fuel injector out side and no fuel comes out. The clear output fuel line of the fuel filter has no fuel in it. I tried hooking an electric vac pump on the output line of the FI pump and after 30 minutes, no fuel even in clear IN fuel line. Due to a year of sitting, is the fuel inj pump shot or need cleaned of goo? Not sure what to do next. Any thoughts? I have a video of vac pump in action. Would like to attach, I'll try, but never did it before. I have an 2002, 1.9 TDI. There is almost a fuel tank. I added 5 gallons of fresh to old fuel in tank from last summer. I just saw I'm not allowed to post a video. Oh well. It would have been helpful. I have not taken any part of the IP apart, except the in/out fuel lines.
