First off, sorry to Marc and others if this is the wrong place for this...

I donno if Giles would be able to help me, but I have a new TDI pump with an upgraded 12mm head installed. I tried to install it into my car a few weekends ago, but it won't run. The engine would crank for a long time, catch for a split second, and then die again. I have a hunch (and hope this is all) that either the injection quantity adjustment or timing is out of whack.

I don't know what tests can be done on a bench, but I would be willing to come up to wherever you are (Markham?) to drop off the pump for you to take a look at it (I'm in Oakville).

Could you please reply here or PM? Thanks.

Dave

may be check the timing between the head and the drive shaft.
or make a 180° timing adjust on your pump to see if trouble is coming about this.
