I am the new owner of a 96 passat 150k
it has a new injection pump and timing belt 1100miles on it,
2nd new battery in a few months(previous owner had start problems i guess )
first i had a MAF sensor problem, (no power, no rpm) I cleaned it and it was good, then after about a week, it developed a hard start 10 seconds of cranking
I adjusted the timing(it was advanced above specs) no improvement
replaced coolant temp sensor,fuel filter
starter sounds strong, no air bubbles in fuel, no smoke
i ordered new glow plugs, because they are all bad, but temp has no effect on starting
i don't know where to go next i have been reading on here for days
any help for a tdi newbie?
