Hi All:
My brothers 2002 VW Jetta TDI just died on the spot a couple of days ago (230,000 km)
He said he was driving when he encountered an instant loss of power ... no sputter, or chugging, no slow decrease in power ... Instant death!
Before that, the engine was really strong.
Multiple attempts to restart showed no signs of life ... turning over showed lots of compression.
Lotsa fuel in the tank and battery was strong.
Finally had to be towed to a shop (not a dealer).
Mechanic has not been able to determine the problem yet.
I suspect the injector pump.
Any advise is welcome and urgently needed.
Thanks, Troy
