Next time it won't start after two hours, push your gas pedal all the way to the floor and see if it starts. If it starts, it could be a fuel injector or fuel pressure regulator issue.
du a tune up--change or clean distributer cap--and plug wires------fuel filter nmay be dirty or pump cud hav issues--battery gettn old and not holdn 12.6volts
Check your fuse box and make sure the fuse for the fuel pump is working properly. Check all wires make sure there is no grounded wire (multimeter is your friend)
Also check the wires (with the multimeter on your fuel pump side be sure its getting power.
If the engine cranks and fires, then runs for about 1 to 2 seconds, look for a 'Yellow Car' symbol in the cluster.
This indicates the ECU does not recognize the key transponder and denies a engine run command.
If this is not the case you may have a faulty fuel pump. Fuel pumps fail and just give a short pressure rise before they quit allowing the engine to get enough fuel to fire but not run.
Another problem with these is the oil pump. When the engine fires it runs the oil pump and if the dump in the oil pump is faulty, it builds too much oil pressure and forces the valves off the seats and compression goes away and engine stops.
High Oil Pressure ( Over 90 psi.) overpowers the hydraulic valve adjuster elements to the point they pump up holding valve slightly open.
Only cure is a new oil pump. It lives in the oil pan and is easy to service. Average time to change out would be 2 hours, unless you have a Cabrio, in which case lower shield needs removed adding another 30 minutes to an hour to the job.
RELIEVE FUEL PRESSURE.REMOVE THE REAR SEAT CUSHION.AND REMOVE THE PUMP ACCESS COVER THEN REMOVE FUEL PUMP.IF BUY A NEW PUMP I WOULD BY A NEW RELAY ALSO TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.
Wont happen, when gasoline settles for a long period of time the petrols start to thicken and becomes like a varnish, the pump is siezed and needs to be replaced. even if you did get it to restart it would be very unreliable
hi..if you look at the portion of the lense that is closest to the
wheel,you will see a small tab.If you remove it gently,the screw
behind will be revealed.Loosen the screw and the assembly will
come out.
try this out..
thank u..
kindly rate my response..
My daughter had the same problem! It turns out the key had "deprogramed" itself. Sure enough, we used her spare key and the car ran like a champ. Oddly enough, the back-up key's remote did not work. VW wanted around $200 dollars to reprogram her key and about the same amount to get a new remote. We put the back-up key on the good remote and she is off to the races.
