Hi

Can you hear the squelch type noise momentarily when you turn ignition on, if you can't hear it the electric pump in the tank is not working, relay 109 controls this or could be the pump itself.

Can't quite get the connection between running out of fuel and holding hand over air intake on a diesel, that sounds like and old trick from carburettor days to draw fuel up from tank.

The squelch noise had dissapeared from my car for a few weeks and has now returned. Now its back I dont seem to have the stuttering I was getting previously.. Still going to change the relay 109.

 

For your info if it helps I got the relay from VW. Part number 1J0 906 381 and came too
