    Check the fuse for the injectors, it is likely you have a short in the engine wiring harness

SOURCE: I need to replace the rear brake pads on my Polo 1.9 TDi

this is a turn in caliper, meaning that as you try to compress the piston, you also need to rotate it clockwise. you can buy tool for this at nearly any parts store, and is fairly inexpensive.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your assistance. I found out the turning piston part by mistake, a day after I posted the question, when I tried to use a G-Clamp."

SOURCE: Polo TDI smoking

If you are getting a continuous cloud of white smoke make sure to check your coolant level as your problem seems to be a possible head gasket issue.

Does this cloud have a sweet smell to it? Coolant has a distinct odor when it is burned.

Also check the oil. If the oil has a milky look to it on the dip stick you have a head gasket issue.

SOURCE: After timing belt failure/head swap, how to tell a

I'd be careful as you know that is a zero clearance engine. Pull #1 spark plug after you get everything lined back up. Make sure it's all the way up and on the compression stroke. With #1 cam lobe up the valve should be closed and seated in the head. #1 piston should not be interfering with the valve lash. Mark the belt, cam gears, and crank clearly. This way when you pull the belt off, you can line the marks back up at any time and you won't lose any ground. What you can do is to pull the plugs and watch the cam lobes. If you have one going down, and a piston coming up...bingo that's your problem cylinder. Here's a tip from an old timer. Make sure the block timing isn't 180 degrees out. After you mark the belt and gears. Remove the belt and spin the crank 180. This will let you move the cam to close the valve on the problem cylinder while doing it. What you're experiencing is a timing issue. Figure out what that is and then line everything back up and you'll be back on the salt flats in no time. I'd be willing to bet that something is 180 degrees out no more tear down involved, just proper alignment.

How to set timing on a injection pump on a 1.9 tdi jetta 2003 did not use the tools on the crank and pin broke off in the pump so i think my timing is out on the car doesnt want to start

Go to a site for tools for the TDi and get the proper tool set. You need a scanner to properly set the timing as well.

Doing it by marking the sprockets and hoping is a dangerous undertaking, to say nothing of costly if you do it wrong.

When you have set the timing at the mark in the flywheel, with the cam lock in back of the head, the pin in the injection pump and tensioner loosened up, you can onstall the cam belt and tighten the tensioner so the V lines up with the pointer.

Now remove the locks and hand turn the engine over two times and recheck the marks..okay ? If yes, then you can run the motor.

Now plug in the scanner and wait until coolant over 85C and look at timing. Adjust as necessary.

If EVER this engine is cranked with timing of cam off over 8 degrees, the valves get bent.
