No fuel pressure in my 2001 VW Golf 1.9 Diesel

My 2001 VW Golf 1.9 Diesel isn't getting fuel pressure.

Fuel pressure where? Unless you have upgraded your fuel level sensor and filter in the tank with a in tank pump, you won’t have any pressure except from the injection pump to the injectors.

Our ALH injection pumps have a rotary vane pump inside them that sucks the fuel all the way through the fuel system up to the pump.

There is no in-tank electric pump. There's not supposed to be any fuel pressure except in the high-pressure pipes to the injectors.

Back up and tell us what the REAL problem is. Engine doesn't start? Was a maintenance procedure recently done that coincided with the onset of this problem?

this is a great thread
