VW POLO SE TDI 2000 - Turns over but wont start.

Post by agulley »

Hello everyone,

I'm after a little bit of help with my 6n2.

The car turns over fine but is failing to start, it started when sprayed with 'easy start' in the air intake pipe.
I have done searches on the internet and checked all of the comments that people have said but that failed to do anything.
We have checked all of the sensors and the relays are going to be tested tomorrow, I will add the results.

We have been told the fuel is tracking back but we cannot find any pin holes in the fuel lines or leaks.
The battery wasn't fully charged but we where using a jump pack, I will test tomorrow evening when the relays are back with a fully charged battery.

Please let me know if you know what's wrong with this car because it's just sitting there.

Thanks

Aaron.

Have you changed the diesel filter?

Might have blocked injectors also. How long has it been sitting for?

It has only been sitting for around 1 day, it was fine before.

What would happen is that the car would not start, I would wait around 5-10 minutes (I was thinking it's immobiliser problems) it would start first time.
This problem grow into longer waiting times from 20-30 minutes before starting.
Last known working was when I parked up in my local supermarket for 10-15 minutes to run in a get lunch and the car wouldn't start from 1:30pm until 8:30pm that was because of easy start.

It has been sat outside my house sense!

Cheers,

Aaron.

I would change the diesel filter and order yourself some Diesel magic made by Comma. Really is excellent stuff
