1997 Volkswagen Passat - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Oil filter? Is it on tight?

You need to check fuel pressure at the fuel rail.if pressure is at spec. Check spark at the plugs. Also replace relay for fuel pump if it isn't working. Could be a bad new fuel pump. Pull the codes first.

The problem is likely in the headlight switch--either a failing contact or perhaps an issue with the connector at the switch. see wiring diagram below.

clean the maf replace if faulty

Check your UG and OM.

Hi. The correct pressure can be found on the sticker in the fuel flap. I dont know what your 80 is. If it is 225/40/18 then I think it is 2.4 bar.

replace from scrap yard. or support engine, transmission and car. you'll have to remove it and machine press it or hamer it in.

it if fires with ether then the problem is no fuel to the injectors . You say there is fuel to the injectors so that means that if the injectors are electronically controlled then there is no control for the injectors . So that means something like immobiliser not operational, cam/crank position sensor fault . I would suggest that the data link for the scanner is not being connected correctly and that is why there is no reported codes.

ya it sounds like the computer that controls your ing. coil
