[Vwdiesel] Cold starting problems - 1.6TD

[The President]

Check its not a pump problem...
Remove power to glow plugs and:
Crank over engine with return line draped into a jar.Plenty 'o' fuel?

Remove nuts on all four lines at injectors. Lift up lines to 'unseat' them 
crank again and watch for even pulses of fuel dribbling out.

The President...
