Re: Non starting B4 AAZ

Hopefully there is someone out there who can help.

I have no crank sensor on this AAZ engine, so I don’t think that’s the issue,my glow plugs are working correctly and are without fault.
My vehicle will not start though, it turns over with plenty of life and if you put brake cleaner in the air ...

Re: Non starting B4 AAZ

Thanks for your replies.

I haven’t had chance to look at the sensors suggested yet as I had booked to go away as below, perhaps I should have…

The pictures attached are of the engine and the flywheel inspection bung, for reference.

Well the B4 was 175 miles into NC500 and then the dreaded non ...

Photos of B4 Water Deflector /Windscreen Motor cover please

Hello,

Does anyone have a part number or even better pictures of the water deflector that covers the windscreen motor on the B4 please?
I need the part but have no idea what it looks like or how it fits.

Any help appreciated.

Re: Non starting B4 AAZ

Update.

I have found the OBD plug on the vehicle and carried out a scan on using VCDS. There is only one control module on the car - for Airbags. There are no other control modules and I’d guess therefore no immobiliser, although I’ll stand corrected if I’m wrong.

The car is now starting as normal ...

Re: Non starting B4 AAZ

Thanks for the reply.

I have no flashing red key and don’t think I’ve ever seen one come up on start up and extinguish ever. Do all
B4 Passat’s have an immobiler?

I have VCDS but thought the vehicle was too old for it, I’ll have a look for the OBD plug next.

Thanks

Re: Non starting B4 AAZ

It’s an 1994 1.9 AAZ TD

It was running and starting fine, and then this morning it’s just turning over at normal cranking speed and no sign of firing at all.

I haven’t had it that long and it did have a dysfunctional ...

I need to fix the leak - hopefully just the oil seal, and fairly straightforward I hope.

The question I have is what oil goes in the rear diff and quantity required please?

If anyone can share any info ...

Re: Instructions for replacing rear springs 4 motion estate

Thanks for the response, doesn't sound too bad a job.

I'll get the tracking checked afterwards as advised.

Could you point me towards the toe bolt you recommend checking, not sure which one it is.

Thanks again.
