Some nonsense in my bible about 30nm then turn 90? and slacken off 90? ,no just pull them down to to about 75lbs and you will be about right for the ally head

if ypu approach salvage yards (cars) and give them details of your car your could pick one up fairly cheaply.
failing that approach motor factor .they should be able to help you.

First of all, YOU MUST HAVE ALL FUEL LEAKS REPAIRED BEFORE TRYING TO START MOTOR.!!!!

If you by any chance get the car running with all those leaks, you will be exposed to have a very serious accident.

After your leaks are repaired, we'll be happy to help you to start up your vehicle.

Good Luck,

Have your car towed out of there, take it to a indenpend repair shop, more the likely a bad alternator due to battery light flashing, that is way ti high for a alternator and rear brakes, and by the way more then likely battery is ok, like you said it still started, hope this was very helpful.

Check line on caliper you replaced it may not be tight enough and letting air into system.if this is not your problem rebleed brakes do not pump brake pedal while bleeding brakes. if you are not aware of how to properly bleed brakes email me at [email protected] and I will fill you in.

TRY ALLEN SOCKET WITH RATCHET WRENCH SEE WHAT HAPPENS..

Try changing the fuel filter - it may be plugged. You mentioned the injector pump was changed...are you referring to the fuel pump? Also, make sure the fuel lines on the fuel pump are correctly installed - also, make sure that the fuel filter (if an inline) is installed in the correct direction (arrow pointing forward if inline); if it's a screw on filter (like that of an oil filter), than try replacing it.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

80% of the diesel problem is cause by fuel delivery and fuel return line.
10% of the diesel problem is cause by air pocket in fuel line or between injector pump and injectors.

Follow the check list to troubleshoot the problem.

==
Check for after market in-line pre-filter between fuel tank (or firewall) to the injector pump.
clean or replace it

==
Fill new filter with fresh diesel fuel


==
Check primer pump for air leak. A leaky pump will cause air to enter the fuel system.

If the primer pump is old then you should replace it.
==
Pump primer for 2-3 minutes to ensure there is no air pocket in fuel system
==
Check for blockage on fuel line
==
Check for return line blockage
==
Do a diesel purge
use short hoses and fresh diesel in a 2 liters soda bottle for to rule out old fuel,tank vacuum and line/filter blockage.
==
==
If the problem still re-surface then crack the injector line one at a time to let the air pocket out while cranking the engine.

BE AWARE OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL.
Cover the injector with heavy cloth and use strong protection gloves.
==
Check for fuel return on the last injector.


Are the injectors balanced?

Check the factory specification on the injector pump timing.

Start the engine in neutral (if it's an automatic transmission to rule out neutral safety switch problem.

Check for 12V at each glow plug while the glowing to rule out glow relay problem.

Measure the resistance on each glow plugs.


Please post more information on how you tow you VW.

the car needs the alarm/immobiliser reset,as it will fire and die if not.

If this is an EFI engine, you may want to inspect the idle air control valve. IT may be bad or just got stuck or need cleaning. You may also want to try to clean the intake manifold or the throttle body a good cleaning. There are solutions that can be used to spray over this areas. If this does not help, you may want to check the timing of the car.

follow the ABS motors wires to the relay and disconnect that or remove the fuse

That doesnt sound good. Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary. If the noise is still there, then you should take it to a mechanic to check. It could mean that you need to either replace the engine or overhaul it. Hope that helps

Tools needed: 12 mm tap, A tap t handle. Just screw the tap into the bushing and keep turning it, it will bottom out and push the bushing out.

On most cars this happens due to lack of air in the fuel ratio. The car is flooding. As little use as I have for most dealership mechanics, I'd strongly recommend taking it back where you got it and making them fix it. Make sure there's no mouse nests or anything in your breather/air cleaner assembly. (you'd be suprised at how many "mouse house's" I find in those things. If not, make 'em fix it.

Check to see if the return spring on the carb has broken. This is what pulls the pedal back up.

if you bang it does it work??if so the brushes in the motor are worn
