Hey guys need some help with my 2003 automatic jetta wagon tdi. Car was purchased not running. Brought it home and did the basics of setting timing and bleeding injection pump and car fired up. Used it for a week or two and it ran poorly(slow and wouldn’t hold speed up hills). Replaced the maf and wow new car. Kept driving the car and it started giving me long crank issues before starting. Tracked it down to a leak on the injection pump from the main pump seal. Bought the dieselgeek kit and replaced it. Car started for about 30 seconds then shut off. Would crank it and it would fire up but not stay running. Tore it back down and noticed the seal got kinked and was broken. Replaced the seal again and now it will crank and will not start. Took it back apart thinking seal got kinked again but seal is fine. Replaced it again since I bought new ones anyways. Primed it and double checked timing to make sure it didn’t slip or anything and we are still good there. Any ideas what could have happened?
