    So I picked up a cheap b5 with a 2.5tdi, AFB engine with an AKE ecu, car ran great until I drove uphill with low fuel which killed the really sensitive vp44 pump, fast forward to this week it’s had a new pump fitted, system primed etc and the car still won’t run, it’s the D code pump so not coded in, anyone have any ideas? If I hold it on the starter it puffs a tiny bit of smoke and you can smell that it’s at least trying to burn the fuel.

    Plenty of fuel/pressure at the injectors and no codes whatsoever with vcds

    Any clues before I burn it to the ground and buy a Vauxhall???

    So it supplies the fuel filter when jumped but is the relay operating it? These get wet and pack up, common issue.

    Not sure, it’s not running dry though it just doesn’t want to fire
