Vin# 5th digit is a "k"
I have been following direction from Hayes book. I first checked compression,cylinder1-200psi,cyl2-200psi,cyl3-200psi,cyl4-195psi.(I didn't bother to do wet compressions)
Fuel- checked fuse #28(good)new fuel filter, new fuel regulator, removed rear seat, listened and felt top of pump heard and felt whirling.
Fuel pressure was tested- 46psi with ignition key on
38psi ran for a second then died
40psi hold for 10minutes
Removed fuel injectors cleaned and tested they all work
Ignition- new battery , plugs , wires. Had the alternator(voltage regulator attached)bench tested and passed
I do have concerns on whether the spark plug wires are correctly positioned to the coil pack. I am having a tough time locating a diagram . The coil pack is straight one above the other,not oval or a box type(four corners). The coil pack appears new and visually has no cracks

No engine light, but oddly the power door locks do not work , and I haven't seen the actual mileage ,I know 110k is close cause it was giving to me from a trusted source (friend)

Not a dealer only from what I can see, but one that will require the special VW scan tool, the VAG tool.
