Maybe the head gasket is leaking. Only need to look at a Tdi head gasket sideways and they blow. Could've gotten hot. Check the coolant is at the right level. Then crank away with the cap off the expansion tank.

what should I be looking for when cranking with the coolant cap off?
I will check the one pair of wires that go into injection pump.

OK - as mentioned, do the coolant thing and check for it blowing out there.
However (hopefully) it will be fuel. If you undo the line on #1 injector then fuel should spurt out while cranking if the engine is getting fuel.
umm :angel: which injector is #1?
I just removed the bleed bolt from the top of the fuel filter housing, then pumped the lift pump. Nothing. I then turned the crank 1/8 of a revolution by hand and tried again (to rotate cam) I did this 4 times, pumping the lever say 100 times each go. No fuel coming anywhere near the bleed bolt hole :confused:
The first one. :pQuote:

Were you able to get fuel up to the filter at all ?
Maybe it's done the lift pump diaphragm and filled the sump with fuel as Dave suggested as a possibility earlier ?Quote:
