What a pain. 2 minutes from home on my way to work the glow plug light come on and the engine died. Tried locking, unlocking car etc but wouldn't start up again. I walked to work and I'll try it later but any ideas guys please?
I'll scan it later...3.0tdi Quattro ASB engine.

Scan showed nothing but if I turn the engine over the fuel pump pulley is not spinning so I think the toothed belt driving the pump has snapped!
Any tricks to do this without taking the bumper off etc?

Bit of a ball ache but remove the inlet 15/16 bolts and a couple of fuel pipes really opens it up and gives you some room to work.

Oh happy days, the Audi lives!
New belt and tensioner £120 inc labour. He only needed to remove the manifold to get enough access.
