Engine just died.

Just started work in my 2.0 TDI and engine just died and won't restart. Had cambelt cover off and belt is OK. Engine shakes quite a lot when trying to restart but won't catch and fire up. Any ideas!!!

so many things it could be. lack of fuel or broken fuel pump. an electrical fault not firing the injectors, crank sensor, timing belt, even though it looks ok it might have slipped or stripped teeth.
so many things, but theres some pointers for a start. you could do with a scan first though.

Thanks for the reply. Why does it always happen on a Saturday just before the busiest night of the week? Nowhere open to get anyone to look at it!!! Totally fed up

You might find someone here that will scan your car, VWAF User Location Map - VCDS - Google Maps

Great idea but I don't think anyone would want to come out on a Saturday night!!! Thoroughly p***ed off..

The members on here are nice guys (mostly) has to be worth a shot. Are you any way mechanically minded? Can you check the flap on the manifold is working?
