Fitted a td engine and wount crank over

[Diamond Hell]

All it needs is 12V to the stop solenoid and the starter circuits to be wired up correctly and it should start and run fine.

This really is vehicle electrics at its most basic.

You have used a diesel starter, haven't you?  Petrol unit won't be man enough to battle diesel levels of compression.

So it doesn't turn over now at all?
I would start by checking voltages to the starter first then take out the plugs to check if they are defo working!
Its sounding more electrical issues to me if everything primes.
I know it takes a long time to get fuel in chamber if its lost vacumn in the lines!
But if ignition does nothing you will have to trace the battery to starter to ignition.
In theory diesels should be easier to start than petrol!
Have you tried Bum starting it i.e roll down hill then crank it? 

I will test starter motor see if work proply, deffo electrics gitch, The clocks all red dial light and glow plug light flashed and disppar very quickly when i turn key I knew that isn't normal. I have other jetta td  glowplug light come on for 5 sec then off to start engine. As fitted td on golf should do the same job. My area dont have a hill for me to roll down! And how can I able push up hill again? lol

Still has original td starter motor
Is stop soleniod on diestel pump? If it is and I'll check it.

Dh has good point the voltages to start a diesel is very high so using the original starter and bigger battery would be needed!
Get another car to tow you up hill LOL 

[Mann]

thanks, i'll kept trying mate

Yes.

Drag the f*cker down the road on a rope, if it's got 12V to the stop solenoid and it's turning over when it's dragged (and do make sure it IS) then it'll start after being dragged about a bit. 

Might take a fair bit of being dragged, if there's air in the fuel system, mind.

easy start    that'll get the fecker running

if it stops running when you stop spraying  it's not getting any fuel

[Mann]

It fire! I dint push the car to fire up! I turn crank and check flywheel marker to align and clean starter motor plug due corrosion. Start fire and sputter then stall, there was air in fuel pipe but try again with clutch down and turn and fire well. Happy day! 


Thanks everybody!

Good news Mann another happy ending!
Beer!
