I found this thread from 2006, which is most of the story. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=135304
I also ran across the urban dictionary definition.

Oh, man, forgot all about that...
"FIVE BRAKE LIGHT MOD!!!"
LMAO!!!
Totally forgot I did the clutch, too, that was wiped out. That thread was a great read.

I tried finding it after I posted that. Sadly, the link to his musical experiment is no longer valid so we can no longer torture the uninitiated.

My car is one of the few that came to the US without AC (summers are a royal pain in the butt!! I’ve looked into adding AC.). I know this because the local VW dealer parts department guy looked up the original vehicle configuration by the VIN number and it was a super base model no AC, no power windows, no sunroof. The only comfort feature it has is the air powered central locking.

Good news today, the radiator leaks are fixed, so the engine cooling system is back to 100% operational. Happy to have a properly cool running engine again. Now to wash the engine bay refill the oil and find the source of what’s sprays 3 quarts of oil, all over the engine bay.

You have to make it through the 5th day just for "FIIIIVE BRAKE LIGHT MOOOOODD!"
That's the best part!
I smell another thread.

Yes, it is! I forced myself to listen to the whole thing, it just gets worse and worse.It's pretty assaulting to the ears and brain.
If you were the creator of that novelty song wouldn't you make sure that it, and all copies, were deleted? I certainly would...

I see now that you don't have AC. The lines aren't present at the back passenger strut tower. That's very strange that a car in the US was sold without AC, even in the northern part of the country. It was a $700+ option but as you said it's one of the few out there.
You can ignore my comment about the incorrect upper radiator hose, since you don't have AC it doesn't apply, my error.
In 1997 when the Jetta TDI first started coming to the US I believe that they were all base cars, the TDI = GL models in trim and equipment. You could still order some options (AC, sunroof, premium radio, metallic paint) but not power windows or some of the standard features on GLX. In 1998 I think the TDI could be had with GLS trim level features which meant that you could get all the typical options like PW, 60/40 rear seat etc.
Oddly enough VW says in 1997 the Jetta GL / TDI / GT were not available with cruise, which we know to be rubbish.

The car has been driving fine for the past 4 weeks.
Suddenly today it’s NO CRANK, NO START.
I begin troubleshooting.
1. Engine computer is powering on and communicates via elm327 Bluetooth dongle with obd2 phone app.
2. When key start is engaged, 9 amps of current flows thru the starter solenoid, and it doesnt’t crank.
What is likely to be the cause of this no crank??
