Thank you, you clever man. Unplugging the camshaft sensor was the clue I needed when I had been looking for a fuel fault. If you were here, I’d buy you a drink.
If there is still no start with sensor unplugged do I then follow up fuel problem?
Exactly what I did. In my case pointed to no fuel from pump in tank. While following to replace pump came across bad wiring.
Mine is doing the same thing need to do that tomorrow morning I was about to buy fuel pump but let me try this
a real mechanic, not just a parts changer, getting rare....
*Good luck even finding a good parts changer nowadays...I'm lead tech and all we getting applying is lazy lube techs that sit on their phone all day*
@@donjulio5045 good time to ask for a raise...it's been eons salaries have fallen back on real cost of living...
Thank you so much!!! My 2000 Jetta tdi with 419,000 miles (that I put on it) wouldn’t start today. So while I was in a parking lot I watched your video and it was just what I needed to diagnose the problem. My fuel injection pump pulley had slipped 1/8 of an inch from the last time I did a timing belt change a year ago. So I grabbed a socket set and a couple wrenches and 15 minutes later it fired right up and I was able to drive back home 😀.
Brilliant video wish you worked at my work im a young apprentice and need someone like you at my work. Very good explanation and really helpful
This is the exact issue my car is having now I finally have some direction and know how to handle this. Thank you so much you have saved me so much money
How did you get on? I’m having the same issue
I’m in South African u just helped me big time...thanks bro 👍🙏🏾
Great stuff 👌👍🙏
It's a 2L TDI, BMN engine 170bhp, 2006
I recently bought a cheap a vw bora 1.9tdi pd100. Took about 4 seconds to start. So I was looking around the engine bay and noticed the cam position sensor was unplugged and taped up 😮. Plugged it in and no start.
Decided to check engine timing. The crankshaft pin locked in and cam was about a tooth out.
Maybe a touch more. Retimed it all and plugged sensor back in bingo. Runs like a dream now.
What if engine starts with easy start and runs fine. But will not start normally
You may have just have saved me a small fortune. I was losing hope to an extent. I drove the car parked it up, then it refuses to start that Evening. Servicing has been kept bang up to date. Interestingly its timing belt, and water pump were replaced only several weeks ago. It has been such an easy starter to date, and was seemingly running nicely. It delivered 65.2m.p.g running up to Morecambe and back to Cornwall. I've precious few pennies to replace the car with at this time. If Your advice pays off here Gerard I will really need to send you a decent drink Sir.. Thank You so very much for posting a clear concise video.
any updates ser?
just shredded my timing belt a few days ago. Not sure if i did any damamge. Belt is still on but missing a whole section of teeth. ill have to check timing and see. wish me luck
Great work nice video sir love from India ❤️👍🙏
Thank you
Nice Diag Gerard good Bias voltage 5v on the signal wire the torsion values are as close to zero as possible
Cheers for that Ian 👌🙏
When testing the signal wire. Shouldn't the cam sprocket be in a certain position? Cam sensor is a potentiometer so surely if in wrong location wouldn't the 5v be pulled to ground thus sending a signal of cam position.
Edit... scrap that. You run the test with sensor unplugged. Only relevant when backprobing.
Good job. I've worked on loads of these and didn't realise the torsion could be so far out as to cause non start.
Just helped me out loads on my golf thank you. More videos
So I have a 2013 Passat tdi 6 spd manual. Once in a while after driving my car I go into a store come out and try to start it and it just cranks over. I sometimes have to let the car sit for 20-30 mins before it starts and I can drive. This doesn’t happen all the time only randomly. Also when the car is on a cold start and I start driving it bucks a little like it wants to take off. Do you think it could be the crank sensor failing? Ps no codes! Thanks so much
Thank you very much
My caddy has been playing up for a month or so cranking over for 30-40 seconds before starting . Adjusted the timing as it had slipped as in the video now starts 1st time
I have a 2005 Jetta4 1.9tdi,it cranks and starts puffing thick black smoke,no revving and dies within 5seconds
Thanks 😊
I am facing an issue with my car and I would like to know the best way to communicate this problem to you. Can I explain it to you or share more details in another way?
Nice job man. Shame I don’t have anyone like you near me who could sort out my P0028. Tried 2 different garages and neither of them seemed to have a clue.
Hi mate could you advice me got a vw touran 2008 1.6 fsi
Reverse lights stoped working 2 daysbago yesturday the headlights comes on with ignition while headlamps relay switch is off today the car wont start any advice would be very appreciated
Changed the h switch still no difference checked fuses wirh probe they seem ok
U0155 error code for my passat cc 2012. I have changed the battery 🔋 but still same problem in the morning juste??
In my fule pump only 0.50v electric going, it should be 12v, where will be the problem?
I have that same problem mine is polo 1.9 tdi same engine I move it without cam sensor and it doesn't pick up well when I plug it is shut down thanks for the advice
My jetta iv 1.4 just cranking. I came. With it from mpumalanga but when i arrive here at joburg. After 2 weeks when i start it it just cranking til now.
Please assist I've done engine overhaul,the engine starts but rev up to 2500rpm.ive done timing on the front and rear crank sensor.please assist vehicle has no power 😭
Lovely video, it's exactly the problem with my Seat Ibiza 1.9tdi 2008. I just noticed by this video that the sensor might not be the problem but yes the camshaft out of position since a cold start will make a knocking noise from the engine. Will be great after 5 mins but since the sensor is telling me something is wrong it's a lot easier to follow this amazing video before blindly buying a new sensor. A 10000000 thanks to you !!
Mine at cold start taps for about 5 seconds then goes away.
VW Touran 2.0 tdi 2007
Crank no start
Fault code P0304
Please,tell me what to do.
Thank you.
Gerard, I have a 2008 vw Passat. Was driving up until a few moments ago, I parked the car into my drive and a short while later I had to head back out but unfortunately the car wouldn’t start. The dash lights, radio, headlights are all coming on. I thought it might have been the battery in the key fob so I changed the battery in that but the car still did not start. Any ideas of what it could be?
I just did the exact same thing bought a new battery because I thought it was too after they did my sensor for my door it started doing this gotta try this
Hallo,my Problem to not start engine my fuel pump to kopijuter start good to filter fuel and to go my diagnostik Egr and 2 3 Minuten egr aktive and no aktive and aktive and 2 minut no aktive , 30.40
Do u know where is inertia switch? ( Fule safety button)
For 2.0tdi 16v Inlet cam (Torsion should be 0), the exhaust cam should be adjusted so the live data for fuel consumption is flicking between 0.4-0.6 l/hr.
For single sprocket 1.9tdi for example torsion is also 0
THANKYOU 🍻
I have same issue. Its all the way to the left. However there's markings from who has changed it previously and it lines up with them. Should I still move it to the centre?
Hi my vw crafter switch's off while driving what could be the problem
I wonder how much beer was involved in coming up with the logic to prevent the engine from starting when the cam sensor is out of range versus starting with no cam signal at all.
I thought exactly the same, perfect logic!!
😅
My mk6 2010 model jerks before takeoff when i accelerate
You legend followed this video checked plug to rule wiring out 5v on all tests so adjusted torsion on cam and wow 1st click fired up
Great video. 0-0.5 is the tosrion value
Great video. 0-0.5 is the tosrion value
I got an polo 1.4 TDI 3 celinder it cranks but no start please help
Where do you find the figures for signal and power, shop manual?
Hi I have same issue no start cold or hot on a 2.0tdi bnm engine any ideas what I should look for
Same problem except mine cut out like it had run out of fuel, luckily as I just pulled into a lay-by.
James, I had the same issues. It stalled on me and won't start. Just cranks. Did you find out what the problem was?
Anyone manage to solve this issue as I've got the same?
Thanks for this video.
Does anyone know the correct torsion value for a BLS engine code 1.9 TDI in a 2008 Audi A3.
I have searched but nothing conclusive.
Many thanks
Would this be the same on a 2.0 gas engine, for a 2000 golf?
Hi, I have a 2.0 bkd engine, it starts really slow in the morning. I changed the battery, injector orings and glow plugs, but still starts really slow in the morning, after 2 cranks.
Hello and congratulation for this video. I have same problem with my Caddy, year 2010 , 1.9 TDI, 77kw, 2k ACBLSX01 engine. All the symbols appear on the board when I turn on the ignition, in this case I have excluded some releys. Like in this video I disconected the sensor but engine it still won't start. Could you give me another suggestions please? I'm not mechanical but some timebut I like to solve problems myself . Thank you I don't know if it helps but the engine has 108,000 real km on it.
I tried unplugging the crank sensor no luck. *correction* I tried again and the engine started without the sensor! Car is running 08 Touran 1.9 tdi 364000kms. Thanks!
Wasnt heater plugs i fitted onw way valve to 2 fuel lines
Gotta drive over after the wife's 2015 TDI 2.0 refused to start. No issues so far and car has only 60K miles, barely broken in (lol). I'll definitely look into this cam position sensor.
Hello there I have Signal on Pin 1 (4v) Pin 2 (3v) Pin 3 Is ground and my Caddy still doesn’t start but it does start with the camshaft sensor disconnected I put a new one in and still doesn’t starts
hello. please help me. i have Audi A3 2.0 tdi 2004. in the morning it has a hard start. after first start, its fine and start normally. if let it cool for 2 3 hours. have the same problem. i replacment, injector seals, glow plug, 2 injector, and no solutions.. in the engine check light shows only Egr Valve. please help me
Hello Gerard! Have you thought that VW stated to name their engine line as TDI in about 1992, so neither engine code, no even fuel injection system in your video's name...
hi i suspect this is the problem on my 2.0tdi Passat that pully is maxed on one side, there appears to be marks that indicate it slipped, when car is cold press the key crank no start, take out key try again and it starts fine any help would be greatly appreciated has fault code p0321 which goodle says is crank sensor but obd scanner shows the sensor working fine, cam shows half of engine speed no drops or anything, edit, pressing key in and out a few times to prime the lines makes no difference
I have a 2.0 pd, cut out, won’t run, gravity fed the flow to tandem pump, and vacuum can on the return, I can’t get anything back from the return cranking or not, therefore no flow to the injectors. Do the tandem pumps fail like this???
I have a 2012 VW Passat TDI SE; I'm trying to locate this camshaft sensor connector as seen in this video at 11:34. I can not find it.
My 2002 ML270 cdi has the same problem. Replaced the cam shaft sensor position sensor, the Crank sensor and it still won’t start!
So unfortunate that the same engine but in Amarok 2013 2hB model the sensor connector is inaccessible :/
The connector is between the block and oil cooler by the looks. No possible to remove it without pulling the head.
How fucked.
Hi, I have an Audi A3, cranks and just about starts and then runs rough. On acceleration it only gets going when at 3k RPM, however when it gets hot it seems to get much smoother and accelerates from 2K rpm.
Has glow plug control module codes and also all injectors upper control limit reached.
What can it be?
Thank you
I have a vw passat b7 2012 2.0 tdi when I try starting my car it doesn't start I have to try starting for around 8 or 9 times until it does start and I can see another of smoke coming out of the exhaust and when it starts car runs fine as long as the engine is warm it will start 1st time but when cold it does not start do uiu have any ideas I've changed high pressure fuel pump air mass sensor timing belt and water pump replaced and does not show any codes please can you help me
Hi guys, can anyone help me if had a similar issue. My passat 2009 , dsg gearbox 2.0 tdi after starting just cut out and not fault code on diagnose.
Will these steps work on the 2.0? I have a 2011 that intermittently doesn’t start when it happened the p3007 code popped up but went away after it finally started
I have a VW Passat 2013 2.0 Tdi that will not start. Purchased a Crankshaft Position Sensor. Not sure where it is on this vehicle.
Can this be a problem for hot start hessitation?
Bonus just got my golf 1.9tdi BLS engine and it starts after a while noticed cam sensor not plugged in properly she just had full cam belt kit I'll test loom and look for signs as befor this she would fire straight up
Anyone ever had issues with passat 2011 B7, No crank No start? Put key in ignition all lights come on dash etc, put clutch in an Get absolute Nothing while Ignition on the coolant fan blows extremely hard? Week today car hasnt drove. Wont go on a Jump nor a bump any help be great
Update?

I have a 2011 Volkswagen tsi 2.0 turbo whit code p2138 what you think can be
Hi Gerard thank you for sharing this video, Ive got a vw mk5 1.9tdi in the mornings it wont start i have to use starter spray then for rest of the day starting is fine... can you pinpoint me to a rite direction ? Any help would be well appreciated.
never use starting spray on a diesel, you could bend a con-rod!
hello ! my 2002 jetta tdi recently made a loud pop and shit off as i was driving and would not start back up it just cranks and cranks but doesnt start up . please help me ! there are no check engine lights that came on and everything seems to look fine under the hood i want my diesel back !!!🥺
I have the same symptoms about the vw tdi engine but without the fault code as well as your ,so I need to check out the fuel pump or injector.
My wv touran 2.0 dsg,have problem and,sometimes dont start,and one mechanik get out my radio,think radio lost energy on battery.but again same problem dont start.What doo y think?!
Hi good day. Bobby I'm working on my audi a3 2004 tdi 2.0 won't start. Fault code, p15700.
Once again, thank you very much
Thanks Anthony, I appreciate it 🙏
Hi mate, great video! I unplugged the sensor and it still just turns over BUT sound as if it’s about to start any minute whereas when the sensor is plugged in it has no interest at all. Any ideas? I think best thing is to re-time it from scratch?
If you have a lift pump, make sure it is providing pressure.
I was told my 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan jump time how can I fix it
I have a vw crafter van
I was driving on the motorway suddenly I lost power then pulled over to hard shoulder tried to start it, now it won't start
Plz help
whats it mean if you get 12.3v fully battery power with the ignition on to the plug? Pin 1 and 3
Hey Gerard nice video, can i get your email id? I have a similar issue with my jetta 2011. But unable to detect any fault. Thanx in advance.
Am same with my octavia no codes but fails to start but does start with easy start did u find problem?
Sometime rendom my passat don't start from first like it dosn't have fuel or battery is weak but from 3 time he start and then couple of days work like nothing hapened
Where are you based as my golf tdi needs repairing
I have a jetta 5 tdi 1.9 my kar won't start and oil did come out my diep stick ever since never want to start?
your test is ok but ist not how you check your timing these mark have nothing to do if they replace timing belt a lot of factor can influence the sproket
Torsion value is written in pen on the cam cover on them all, usually doesn’t last too long. Supposed to be written in the service manual too. Some can be up to 5 degrees either way, 0.0 is usually the best benchmark to adjust from when doing it.
Hello, i need eletrical diagram this car, can you help me?

Great video Ger my car is in a garage at the moment it had a leak in a fuel line its now repaired but wont start ..
Bleed pump and injector lines if it is ALH engine.
@@bobirving6052 got it sorted after a week..
Installed led brake lights no start. And with burned or no brake light bulbs installed it will not start.
Good afternoon sir. Yesterday a car owner called and drove me to a garage where is car was parked. On getting there, battery from is lexus was pulled out and used for my testing in his Passat.
The car that is faulty is a 2008 Volswagen Passat. The things I noticed when I connected my scantool were: *P2014, P0113, P2185* were the check engine codes I saw. But when I checked for modules *P0190, P0798, P0864 and P0841* were added previous 3 codes I highlighted 👆.
Before long, about 7 minutes or less during my scan I wanted to crank the engine over to check the live data and the operation of the car unfortunately the battery went low.
Hence, I couldn't carry out more test. In an interview of the car owner about what he used to notice/ symptoms in the car and what was replaced in the car in an attempt to solve the problem. He highlighted that it happened on is way, when the car was on motion and suddenly went off. He allowed the car to cool down for some time. When he tried starting it again it started and moved for some distance and stalled out again.
He invited an electrician to check the cause and fix the problem. The fuel pump was replaced and an actuator as he said but that he can't recall the name at the moment. The car was then driven to a garage where I meet it. Since then they've been trying to fix the problems permanently but to no prevail.
Initially, most of the times the battery will drain out quickly and when car gets hot, the car will go off on motion. But he has not noticed stalling off the car at idle.
Consequently, the engine oil was replaced, top cylinder valves grinded, oil switch, plugs, coils, top gasket and PCM were replaced but the problem was still not fixed.
Moreover it was also noticed that mostly the car will hesitate whenever it wants to climb hill like a popping sound accompanied with that and move very slowly on smooth road.
At present, the man said the car problem have gotten worst, it only cranks but doesn't start anymore.
In summary, the car used to drain very fast, struggle to climb a hill or bump, and when on motion engine stalls when hot.
Please help me out on how to solve the car problems and get the car starting again.

Quality work Ger, that was an out of the box diagnostic find, loved it "bualadh bos"
nice fix gearld. i done a lot of these non start over the years and the first thing i always ask is did the costumer put in wrong fuel 😆
It's the right question to start with 😁
My car is doing same but no glow plug life or injector life
You are Good could do with you in Letterkenny area of Donegal
What a ledge, where's your garage I'm coming
If starting sample but not cash l00 speed
my project bkd engine'd golf had it's turbo let go. found metal everywhere upto the intercooler but nothing after.
replaced turbo and tried to flush oil and put fresh in.
it cranks fine but won't fire, was gonna try this but my fault code is p2100 (anti shudder valve) it is clean so a bit stuck.
trying to order one but would that prevent the engine starting?
We used to have a dude like you at our work but unfortunately he left & as far as I know, he's out of the trade, it's a shocking waste, he'd make an excellent trade school teacher 👍
Thank you Lance, I appreciate the comment.
It's such a shame when we lose good techs to other jobs or roles. They are needed badly these days
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage I have a jetta 6tdi it does not make start. If you put quick start on it it will start bt it does not Rev. No power at all. I tested the injectors they are 100 % correct. Vcds is showing nothing.
Must be running to set torsion values.
Possible MAF problem or intake air leak.
If you have a lift pump, make sure it is providing pressure.
Well diagnosed and step by step explained, great video many thanks 👍
Thank you Arian
Like your videos, very helpful. Question, on your crank sensor VW 1.9 TDI 2001, both outer terminals are negative. What might be the best place for me to start looking I have no positive terminal
