This seems strange to me. I replaced the clutch in my manual B5.5 tdi passat and now have a no crank issue. I thought the blue switch on the clutch pedal was causing it but it appears to be functioning properly. I even disconnected it and jumpered it but the problem persists. I also replaced the little rubber coolant line that runs from the back of the head up to the radiator hose. It was rotten and quite a bit of coolant leaked out of it near the coolant flange and down the starter side of the engine. I replaced that hose and now suspect the coolant that came out of it could that have shorted the starter solenoid. Any ideas out there besides the obvious of testing the starter?
