Post by romalan »

Hi all,


Please assist, i have a jetta4 2001 1.9 tdi. It was parked of for two months. Now when i have tried to start it :


- it swings perfectly but does not start
- was a perfect running vehicle prior
- it has enough fuel
- i even put the fuel pipe direct to a bottle of diesel
- opened up the the nuts that connect to the injectors
- glow plug lights are fine

Please assist

Could be that your cranking speed is not fast enough or some fuel has run back the lines. Try a jump start or a fresh battery.

Rather buy a good quality part that will last then buying a cheap part that won't last.
