Hello All,
I just picked up a non-working 2002 Jetta TDI for a great deal, I hope!
1st problem it will not hold fuel pressure, so will not start.
I cranked on it for minutes and pumped the gas pedal and finally got it to start. Took it up and down the road a few miles and it ran great, smooth and had no problem, turbo was working, shifted good.
Parked it in the garage and started inspecting it over right off the bat I noticed the fuel pump was loose, inspected it more and realized there are no bolts holding the fuel pump at all. The only thing holding it on is the sprocket attached to the timing belt!
Is there any way to install the fuel pump bolt without taking the timing belt off?
I think this is the first thing I need to work on for sure. If the fuel pump is not secured will it cause the fuel pressure not holding, or maybe the fuel is holding and the reason why its hard starting is cause of the fuel pump.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
