After several longer starts, drove home 40 miles in 10 degrees cold. Last mile engine would not shift from 4th to 5th when it normally would and seemed to lacked power. No lights no trouble codes (checked later) As I pulled in it died and would not start. Tank was 1/3 full and since it was cold I assumed it was gelled. Pulled it into the garage. Small blessing to be home!
Listening for the lift pump and testing found it was failed. New pump installed today and flows checked at the filter, before the Tandem Pump and after. I'm planning to replace the filter even though it flows a steady stream and I don't see bubbles. I may also bypass and plug the t fitting.
ASV good, glow plug lights, CPU gives one code (glow plug 3) that it has for months.. I can see the camshaft turning and all the normal noises when cranked, just never fires, at all, nothing. I am due for the second timing belt so I could check it.
I'm really out of ideas and would greatly appreciate any help. 2005.5 NB 265k original everything, Automatic DSG DMF. Been running fine.
Thanks!
