The whole pump was rebuilt but the builder said the lift mechanism was what was bad. The vids are from my YT channel so not sure how to do them without the YT links.

The Jetta Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://youtu.be/YafiuQAyJDU

What I was looking for was the thread size and I found my metric tap set finally. The thread if anybody ever needs it is M8x1.25mm. I have the threads back perfectly now. Started doing the timing belt and of course the rain started.:(

Ok so I have the new crank sprocket on but managed to slightly mess up one of the 4 bolt holes that the harmonic balancer bolts use. I need to run a tap in there. I have no idea what the thread specs are so does anyone know? I called Metalman but he was not available at the time.

Well I went back to check all the timing and I was off 2 teeth on the flywheel. That is maybe not even 1 degree but I knew something was not right. So off came the belt and as I was pulling the harmonic balancer it and the cog were loose. Not only that but the bolt was out a few threads.:eek...

Ok got it ordered. Got the harmonic balancer ordered from Metalmanparts as well.

I called Jim Ellis and they tell me it is essentially NLA. They said its not "officially" discontinued but there are none in the USA and they cant get it. In my experience at least with the VW almost everytime I buy an aftermarket hard part, it fails. I would rather find a Genuine VW one and...

I ment the sprocket NLA not the bolt. I ordered a bolt and some seals while I was there.

Ok so I found at least one issue my crank sprocket is toast on the back. I think it was deformed just enough to throw the timing out after extended cranking. The crank snout looks just fine. So when I did the belt I checked it 4 separate times and everything was dead on. However I had not...

Yes its squirting out of the nuts line nuts very well.

Yes it was a little under 500 psi.

Batt voltage to shut off solenoid and I have even run a wire directly to it from the battery just to rule that out.

No locking cap. I will take a line loose, spin it around with the injector and crank it. Do you guys want me to do another update video with everything done and shown up to date?

I am getting a lot of smoke while cranking now. I think in the video I said after it was shot I redid the timing and it was off a few degrees. Its right on the money and belching smoke as I am cranking. Taking off the cat really helped with cranking speed, it was pretty blocked up, but still...

Yes lots of fuel coming out of the lines. I hooked up a clear supply and return line to see exactly what is happening and both are functioning normal. Getting around 350 rpm while cranking.

I removed the CAT yesterday and it still wont start. It was probably 75% blocked which I suppose is normal as its original 378K miles.

When I tested it I believe it was around 112 ohm. Could it test out ok via ohm but still be defective I wonder...

This procedure requires the engine to start!

I have another video I did not post of the smoke puffing out while cranking. However I will disconnect the down pipe and see what happens. The injectors have like 20k miles on them at the most. I have tons of fuel squirting out of the nuts if I loosen them while cranking. I was going to take...

What is T14a?
