Hello,

I've now retrieved and installed the pump. In the repair thread, it mentions that you should disconnect the return line and use vacuum to extract about 100ml of fluid.
I just did that, and I can also see diesel fuel in the fuel line (with an air bubble, but that should only cause sputtering).

Unfortunately, it still won't start.

I'm now waiting for my brother so that I have someone who can crank the engine, and I'm going to try to bleed the lines to the injectors myself.
Does it not start at all if there is air in the nozzle lines?

Besides that, is there anything else? No one is going to diagnose any more faults. The engine is also running normally, and I've already tried adjusting the electronic spark advance.


Can I use this to fuel the pump right now? Actually, it's supposed to be diesel fuel...

"The engine is completely junk! I can totally understand why some people never want to buy an Audi again. When you have to take it to the workshop every time, it becomes really expensive. (It's a bad reflection on the brand, even if it's just one engine that's faulty...)"

Bleed:
1. Use an external pump to extract the liquid (you have already done this).
2. If the pump is still running, it will sputter.
3. If that doesn't help, loosen the retaining nuts on the nozzles until fuel starts to flow.
Okay, hier ist die Übersetzung:

"then continue with 2."

Problem solved, it was the third spark plug. That seemed strange because it hadn't fired at all before. I then slightly loosened the spark plugs on the right cylinder bank and closed them while cranking. After that, the engine started.

It's crazy, with mine, you just force it in until it fits (put a little something in during installation and it's good).

Thank you for your help!
