Volkswagen passat - Passat 2006 1.9 TDI engine won't start - shrek911
Few days ago I wake up in the morning start my engine, went to work with my passat 2006 1.9 (engine BKC)TDI estate , after about 10 miles, my dashboard quickly flash I lost the power and the engine stops. After that I can't start the engine at all, I get towed to vw centre, they made diagnostic with scanner didn't find any false only 1 glow plug not working (i do believe it not big effect on my problem), later they made wiring loom and they advise me to change the turbo, but they not guarantee that after changing turbo the engine will start, also i don't believe that turbo not working because before the engine stops it works perfect. I'd made few investigation's, check cam-belt, fuel pump so on everything is working, I' tried atoday to start engine, few times it's started for the 5 sec, and cut again. I'm lost don't know what to do, also considering to change engine speed sensor, what do you think, or any helpful options will be appreciated, many thank you

I can guarentee that the turbo will not affect the starting of the car!

There's a big long thread on failed injectors/wiring loom of passats of that vintage.

Any posibilities that one injector is failed? And engine won't start?

One injecter going down on these will certainly cause a non runner situation these 06

vw's use two different systems bosch & siemens. try disconnecting one injecter plug

at a time and try startingeach time when faulty one is disconnected car should fire up and

run on three cylinders. Apart from that using a multimeter check the two terminals on injecters if you get a ohms reading on any of these terminals and body of injecter then you have found your faulty one Hth Regards Mickeybo

Be careful - check the build status of the engine you are working on before you dive in. To my knowledge, no 1.9 engines were fitted with Siemens injectors as the heads only have one hold-down stud per nozzle.

If it starts and then stops, it's unlikely to be an injector problem and if the loom is faulty, with Bosch injectors it will run quite "happily" on 3.

First look carefully to see if the immobiliser light is coming on (car symbol with key at the bottom). If the key code is not satisfied, it will run for a few seconds, then stop with the light on. Then check very carefully the lift pump in the tank. Make sure you understand how it should work - the engine no-speed safety circuit ensures it only runs for a second after "switch on" in the absence of an engine speed signal. Finally check the injection ECU supply relay (usually in the ECU box) for broken soldered joints - or replace it.

Don't guess, use codes and wok logically and systematically. If anyone tells you the engine needs a new turbocharger - sack them.

ok ... :(

immobilizer-checked

fuel pump ckecked

ECU supply relay checked

Don't know what else, thank you 659. Only one in my mind injectors, that's it out of options or g28 sensor !!? Will not touch injectors as don't have skills, probably need to towed to the nearest garage to check injectors.

Which injectors do you have. If they are the new piezo type and one has failed the car will shut down. Ring your dealer with the VIN number and ask them. Regards Peter
