Engine shut off while I was driving & wouldn't restart. Towed to dealer & awaiting diagnosis
When the ignition coil pack in a car has close to or over 100K miles on it the coil pack gets weak causing it to shut off while driving.
if it doesn't help i think you should make a diagnostic and the tool super vag can help you
SOURCE: VW Jetta 2005 engine indentification needed
The dealer gets there build info via computer link to the manufacturer data base for paticular car, you can be 99.99% it is correct.
SOURCE: 2002 Jetta TDI, has 180,000 miles. Engine sputtered and cut off.
standing at the front of the car pull the cover off the left side of the motor and check the belt. No tools are required the check the belt. Cover pulls up and off. It's to the left end of the valve cover.
SOURCE: 2006 vw jetta tdi service engine light reset
With the key in the ignition (but not turned), press and hold the Odometer Reset Button on the right hand side of the panel. While still holding that button, turn the key (although not far enough to start the engine) and then press and hold the Minute button on the left side of the instrument pane(if pressing doesnt work try turning the knob clockwise until service light has gone off and skip the pressing)l. Release both buttons at the same time.
SOURCE: 03 jetta tdi timing belt broke
The number of miles is not relevant, because in 7 years of driving, obviously it was mostly highway miles and caused little wear.
It only takes about an hour to try just changing the belt. You need to buy a belt anyway. So it is always worth the attempt.
Most VW's have small depressions in the pistons for the valves, to prevent anything serious.
But no, I do not believe the TDI even is an interference fit.
Only the DOHC GTI engine was even close. I do not believe the TDI had a dual cam version, nor was any Jetta dual cam. And it is only with dual cam that the valves hit, because they are on such a hemisherical angle.
