Hi,
So I have a TDI that wont start. It turns over like it should and comes close to starting but just wont. To confirm it is a fuel delivery issues I did a quick shot of starting fluid and it did start for a second. Here is what I have done so far.
New fuel lift pump in the tank. The old one was working but not well so I replaced it to be sure.
New fuel filter
New fuel filter check valve
New rubber fuel hoses near filter. Some of them looked old so replaced them to be sure no leak down the road.
Bleed the system still no start.
I did confirm that the RPM gauge does go up while cranking so I am pretty sure the crank sensor is getting a signal. The timing belt looks good and is turning as well while cranking. I did check the OBD and no codes in the system. I did order a VW VCDS but will not be here for couple days.
Any ideas would be great and appreciated I am just out of what to check next.
THANKS
