    It's a 00 1.9 tdi. All lights are showing except the coil light that is usually there. It's turning but not firing

    There's a relay that fails. I can't remember the no. of it now.

    A quick Google might find it.

    What's difficult about changing a relay?

    I'm nearly 100% sure it's 109 relay piece after doing a bit of research so am going to try that.

    If you know someone with VCDS, try to get them to read the codes. It may help to point you in the right direction before you go spending money on parts you might not need.

    No point if the ECU isn't powering up.
