#59 of 122 Re: 2007 jetta won't start [tbirchett] by moore0124 May 28, 2008 (8:29 pm)
Replying to: tbirchett (May 28, 2008 7:52 pm) I havent felt the key when i pull it out but i will take not next time it happens. However I have discovered that when it wont start...if i hold the key all the way in the 'on' position then open and slam my door really hard it will start. The car oriented people in my family say its a bad starter that is faulty in nature. Hope it works for ya Replies to this message: packer3 (May 29, 2008 4:09 am)

Replying to: tbirchett (May 28, 2008 7:52 pm) The key was really hot ????? How can that be a starter problem?

Have a 97 Jetta GLS that starts and runs fine in the mornings and nights when its cool, but if left in the sun past mid morning it won't start. Any idea of the probable cause for this?
#63 of 122 TDI FUEL STARVATION by chaser15 Nov 03, 2008 (11:28 am)
I have a 2002 Jetta TDI that will not pick up fuel when fuel drops just below half tank. Have checked the top side for vacuum leaks, etc.. Fuel gauge is correct and the problem is consistant. Does anyone have any ideas before I go into the tank? Thanks Jerry Replies to this message: bpeebles (Nov 03, 2008 6:56 pm) chaser15 (Nov 04, 2008 8:43 am)

Replying to: chaser15 (Nov 03, 2008 11:28 am) Sure sounds like a vacuum leak somwhere. A vacuum leak at the thermostatic "T" has been known to cause symptoms such as yours.   If I were you , I would try replacing the fuel-filter. Pay close attention to the 2 Orings on the thermostatic "T" fitting that plugs into the fuelfilter. These 2 Orings are different size (and different color if you use German-made filter like a Mann)   If you still continue to have issue, try using your oil-suker (that you use to change oil) on the fuel-filter to see if you can duplicate problem "manually".

Replying to: bpeebles (Nov 03, 2008 6:56 pm) Thanks for the input. I have been using after market filters. Might bite the bullet and buy a genuine VW. Could throw 5 gal. of fuel in the trunk just in case it's not the filter. I do have vacuum pumps and may have to start working my way back. Trying to elimate everything before going into the tank. Again, Thanks Jerry

I have a 95 Jetta manual trans that won't start after not being started for 3 months. Up until now I have have never had this problem. I am assuming it's because my car sat so long with out being started. It will turn over but not start. Any tips on how to get her to start?

Replying to: nitegoat (Nov 24, 2008 11:09 pm) Are you touching the thrrottle pedal? If so, that may be a reason it is not starting.   Also, check that your fuelpump is running. Replies to this message: nitegoat (Dec 01, 2008 11:37 am)

Replying to: bpeebles (Nov 30, 2008 5:06 pm) I got it to start. All I did was put a bottle of gummout in it and 5 gallons of fresh gas. I then let it sit for 2 days and it started right up!
