1.6 TDI 2011 MK3 cranking then stalling

[hlee17]

Hiya everyone I have an issue when trying to start my caddy it cranks then dies , it has a brand new battery in it. In the scan from vcds I've seen my front right abs sensor is bad so I'm going to change that tomorrow but didn't think that would cause a no start...

Occasionally when it's been left for a while and I try starting there's a noise coming from the throttle body (clicking grinding sort of noise)

Here's the scan

[Nicklouse]

A lot of those codes have old error dates. I would wipe them after you have done the ABS though that should not cause it to stop.

[STP]

As you have VCDS, check the fuel rail pressure and see if it's actually enough to run, should be 300 bar (ISH) at idle and if it's way less than that, it won't run for long when starting it.

As Nick says clear all the fault codes, any that are genuine will come back, check things like fuel pressure and cam/crank sync as these will both cause issues if not correct.

Both will generate a fault code if not right, that you can then find with VCDS and take it from there. Has the fuel filter been messed with? It could be pulling air.

[mark2406]

Did you ever get to the bottom of what caused this?
This is what mine is doing now.
We’ve ordered a fuel rail pressure sensor and new fuel filters etc.
