Re: not starting

i checked the timing today, i checked the tdc on the crank, and both seem to be okay with the camshaft notch horizontal and 1st lobes pointing upwards and that was for both notches on the flywheel, which i thought was odd but must only be 1 or 2 teeth between. is this correct? trouble is it won't st...

Re: not starting

not starting

i have just changed the head gasket on my AFN engined passat, now it won't start, i locked the diesel pump pulley, and the cam on removal,

does the diesel lines need priming after having them disconnected from the injectors? or is it simply checking the tdc marks again?

I tried removing the small pipe when it got to 90c and it spurts water out in a rhythm like to the compression stroke, it seems to slow down at 2000rpm when i would of thought it would get faster and ...

Re: strange heater and temp gauge issue

so not just up to temperature 90° but when the fan comes on?

to be honest i have never heard the fan come on, and it never goes above 90° so can the water pump be knackered if it never overheats?

Re: strange heater and temp gauge issue

it's a 1999 1.9 tdi AFN,

yes the small pipe that goes to the top of the expansion tank, but on mine, it's a short pipe that joins to the top radiator hose.

Re: strange heater and temp gauge issue

so to illiterate on the above, is it normal for it to come up when the pipe is under the level of the tank continuously or only when revved? and at the same height?

Re: strange heater and temp gauge issue

Hi Karl, well it spurts out all the time if i put the pipe lower than the tank and that's without revving it, but i suppose it would?

pipe 23 on your diagram is different to mine, mine joins to a bigger pipe underneath it
