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.
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.
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 😀.
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
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.
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
wifes old car has been sitting for 6+ months, started maybe 3-4 times and not driven. I started to drive it and noticed hard to start when cold. I popped the bonnet to check the battery charge and there were 2 spanners, thinking I left them in there for 6 months after a service, went and checked them after watching your vid and they are 13/19mm, I must have played with cam timing... without lifting a spanner to it, id say your vid has got me in the right direction
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.
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 !!
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.
All VAG owners become a mechanic in no time, hahaha. I've learnt a lot about TDI because I bought a high mileage VW Caddy 1.9 TDI. Part after part after part has been replaced my me. Things keep breaking at 300,000km. My van is practically new now after all the work I've done to it. It's drive another 300,000kms
Replaced timing belt on my golf 4, couldn't start it. Checked timing couple of times, locking tools were perfectly in place. Had the same fault about cam sensor. Checked sensor l, and thanks to your video decided to turn camshaft a bit later and it started. Thank you very much 🤟
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.
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.
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 👍
@@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.
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
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGaragehey ger do you have an email i can contact you at with some questions about my 1998 sharan 2.0 petrol? Thank you mate!;-))👍🏼🙌👊💪🙏🏼
TRY THIS FIRST!!! I had same symptoms with 2017 transporter. I disconnected positive from battery and reconnected (reboot computer). Started straight after hasnt happened again since. 😅
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
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.
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
Very informative vidio I am having a simuler problem with intermittent start up plus oil light sensor showing after new sensor fitted and an oil change help
Thank you very much! I have been fighting with my brm for a while now. I just installed a stage 2 cam from kerma TDI and im not getting a torsion value! I am using vcds and I don’t know if I can see camshaft speed on there. I will try out a couple tips you gave in the video!
@@eugeneoreilly9356 I got it figured out finally haha it ended up that all 3 cam sensors I got were all bad. If anyone gets one I would get it straight from Kerma. I got 2 from autozone and one from rock auto. None worked except the one from Kerma
Hi. I have a golf GD 63 plate. I cleaned it all out during the summer and it started fine. It’s been idle for a few months and now won’t start. My charger has not made a difference to the battery. Should I get diagnostics in it? Someone said the engine had seized but I can’t see it. Thanks 👍
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
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?
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
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.
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?
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?
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 06’ starts are idles nicely, it’s only once you press the throttle the RPMs gets up to roughly 2000 and the motor starts jumping like it has a two-step then the tachometer drops to zero and the glow plug light comes on. Anyone else have a similar issue? I just want to make sure I’m swapping out the correct part lol. I’ve checked VCDS and it doesn’t seem to be throwing the code many have mentioned. I appreciate any help and and thank you for the video and the information within.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
Thanks for informative video. However my issue is engine will crank but not start first thing. Wait 5 minutes and it starts and runs perfectly. I’ve had fuel pump replaced and ecu checked out. What would you suggest next?
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
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...
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???
Nice systematic diagnosis there. Could it still be a camshaft issue if the fault is intermittent? I've got a 2 litre tai Passat 2011 B7 that does this intermittently.
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
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?
very useful and informative video. My question to you is how can l determine on a five pin connector vw golf mk6 1.6 tdi. which pins relate to +5v and _5v on the air intake swirl valve motor. Not easy to find access to a wiring diagram for this. As l suspect the swirl motor and wish to see if it functions on the bench 6
I hope you do more Volkswagen TDI diesel engines. I have one that starts sometimes... sometimes it don't. Come back the next day and it will start. LOL Beats me.... My wife is about to scream. LOL
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
Mate iv changed the timing belt and sensor code gone and started and run for bit cut out got code for glow plugs changed them and now it crank try to start 1000 rpm and cuts out iv checked fuel all seems fine have no clue what is going on now nothing coming up on scanner any clue any advice would be fantastic thanks

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.

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?
very useful and informative video. My question to you is how can l determine on a five pin connector vw golf mk6 1.6 tdi.
which pins relate to +5v and _5v on the air intake swirl valve motor. Not easy to find access to a wiring diagram for this.
As l suspect the swirl motor and wish to see if it functions on the bench

I hope you do more Volkswagen TDI diesel engines. I have one that starts sometimes... sometimes it don't. Come back the next day and it will start. LOL Beats me....
My wife is about to scream. LOL
@@Lee-eu6wf Thinking I may have the solution... EGR valve LOL
whats it mean if you get 12.3v fully battery power with the ignition on to the plug? Pin 1 and 3
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
Brilliant video well explained good work 👍
Thankyou maestro 😘😘
