Man you saved me today, and I thank you. I ran my 2001 golf out of gas and was stuck where people were smoking meth and fentonal leaning up against 7-11 in groups of 10 ,15 people at a time. Your method made it so easy (once I was brought a few tools) to follow and get me and my girl out of a bad situation. Thank you.

ran out of fuel yesterday,found this video and did it and now its back togheter,just wanna say thank you for saving my week end🙏🏻

One gentleman I watched had a pretty good tip of whenever you change the fuel filter he would take the vacuum pump you showed, hook it up to the fuel return line (the one just under the Mickey Mouse clip) and vacuum until diesel fuel started coming out. Makes sense as the vacuum will pull fuel into the fuel filter, through the pump and injectors, and then out the fuel line. Theoretically making sure the fuel pump doesn’t run dry.

Changed my nozzles and air got in, wouldn’t start. Saw this video and went and got the mityvac hand pump, primed it right up, followed your steps and it cranked , thank you man!

Another great video.👍👍

good explanation and job hope it helps someone out

Dude, thank you for making this video, my car has some starting issued and I wanted to track down every single option I think it might cause it not to start, next one is trying to see if there is air in the fuel lines. Keep up the good videos!

I can't get my 1.9 TDI to start. I've done all the procedures and a lot of diesel is sprayed through the top of the injectors when I loosen them, however, the car cranks for a log time and doesn't start. It sometimes "coughs" like trying to start, but not frequently. Could the injectors be stuck?

Manual says "Water Separator: Drain Water" every 20k. I was looking for a video on that and found this. I assume that the bit at the bottom of the fuel filter is what they are talking about doing every 20K? or is it something else the manual refers to? thanks! and great video!

What is the inline and outline diesel hose

You are wrong when you say that this yellow tube from the oil dipstick is held only by the engine cover. This tube should be seated on the metal dipstick tube coming out of the oil pan. To do this you need to dip the end of it about two inches deep into hot water from a kettle. Then this yellow plastic will become flexible and it will be possible to seat it on the metal tube from the oil pan. You will hear a rather loud CLICK! But before you push it onto this metal tube, you need to point it with a sharp protruding spear at the other end of this tube (where you push in the oil dipstick) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the engine. Then it will fit perfectly into the hole in the engine cover. Greetings from Poland.

That dip stick tube looks like a Cheeto!

Good video.... But I'm not going out of my way to buy a modern VW the reliability and easy of maintenance has gone out the window... I had an 80 diesel rabbit and it was a tank of a little car....easy 45 mpg sometimes progress goes backwards😂.... I had a 98 jetta gas car and the ignition switch went bad and the car would lose power postive to coil in start in order to fix the whole dash would have to be removed... Ha! I by passed it and fed the coil it's start voltage 12v with a momentary switch under the dash.... An instant start and theft deterrent all in one!! You can't stop a mopar mechanic!

DID SOMEONE SAY TDI!!!

I ran out of diesel yesterday, I’m gonna try it today🫡🥃🥃
