I recently bought an 04 TDI Jetta from my brother. He has had it for about 3 years with no issues. I have had it for 3 weeks no issues.
Two days ago I left work drove about 15 miles or so, plenty of time to get her warmed up to full temp, and pumped her full of fuel. (vented completely full in the filler neck NOTE: this is the first time I have ever filled it this full)
Got in it started it up no problems and drove about 2 miles to the autoparts store, shut it off and went in.
Came out and it would not start, it will crank like no bodys business, but will not even attempt to fire. The Glow Plug light does come on every time.
So I called some people, messed with some stuff. Maybe 30min-1hr. later I got in it and it started with the bump of a key.... Jumped in and drove her to the house about 5 miles. Shut it off at the house, tried again, and nothing just turns over won't start. Let it sit about an hour, starts right up.
Next morning, Cranks right up, never started easier. Drive to work, 15 miles, shut it off. Tried to crank it back up and will not start just turns over.
So the things I can narrow down.
1) I did pull the battery from the key FOB the day all this stuff began, and it doesn't work anymore....
2) First time to my knowledge this thing has ever been filled COMPLETELY full of fuel, which shouldnt do anything.
3) The Glow Plug light does come on every time.
4) Car starts fine cool
5) Will not start warm, only turn over (with plenty of speed rpms)
7) No Check Engine Light
6) Started two days ago, and has never done this before.
Any Ideas?
