I replaced the TB in my 2010 Jetta TDI. I purchased a kit from dieselgeek and tools to set the crank, cam, IP positions and followed the directions to the letter. Although I must have missed something because the engine doesn't run. After completing the install, turned the engine over, it started, ran fine for about 5 seconds (no knocking) and stalled. The engine would then not turn over with the starter. Lights would dim like the starter or crank was locked. Was able to turn the engine with a wrench which was no harder to do than when I set the TDC during the removal. I did this to double check timing positions, still everything looks correct. I am totally lost... I do not wish to just try to crank the engine over to see what happens next for fear of causing more potential damage.
