Out of Fuel-Won\'t Fire Up
1999 Jetta Tdi. 62xxx miles. It has run out of fuel twice in the past two years. Both times (including right NOW) it will not start. Engine cranks no fire. First time was towed to dealer and they said they primed the pump. Second time is NOW and it is in the street and will not start.
Service writer at another dealer says priming should not be necessary. He says it should start. I dont believe it.
Does the fuel system need to be primed? Is this normal?
Can anyone tell me exactly what to do so I can drive to work without having to pay a $100.00 tow bill and service repair?
