Why would an 86 diesel Jetta stop running and not turn over in a matter of a day?

Maybe mine was bit different but when I started it, it was sounding odd. I drove it for a few miles and it just seized up. Had to replace the whole motor. The dealer would not tell me what caused it but I assume the owner before me did not change the timing belt, which i think caused it. I remember looking down near the left side of the engine and there was a broken shaft where the belt goes normally. This was a 1995 Passat TD Diesel Check for broken wires, especially ground wires,,,make sure no wires live wires are touching metal In my 86 Jetta the trunk light switch was defective and caused thelight in the trunk to stay on and kill the battery. I repaired it and all is good I would check you Battery if it don't turn over ,a Diesel engine has a very high compression and needs lots of battery tork to turn it over and batterys sometimes just die for no reason,it happend to me.

Can you convert a gas 1999.5 jetta to a diesel?
you could, but than you would have to change verything except for the block itself, so the cheaper option would be to get a drivetrain from a wrecked golf/jette diesel.
What is the red wrench lite showing on the dash of a 2006 Jetta diesel?

No
Do you need electricity to run a diesel engine?
No. Iginition in a Diesel engine comes from compression and not spark. Once the Diesel engine is running you do not need electricitry to keep it running. However, modern diesel engines have computers controlling many of the functions of the engine and that would cause it to fail if there was no electricity. Old diesel engines did not have computers and would keep running even if your battry went flat because your alternator died. Just dont turn it off because the starter needs electricity :P
How much does it cost to run a diesel generator?
The cost of running a diesel generator can vary depending on various factors such as the size and efficiency of the generator, the price of diesel fuel, and the duration and frequency of usage. On average, diesel generators consume about 0.5 to 1 gallon of diesel fuel per hour for every kilowatt (kW) of power produced. To calculate the cost, you would need to know the current price of diesel fuel, the generator's fuel consumption rate, and the number of hours the generator will be running. By multiplying these factors together, you can determine the approximate cost of running a diesel generator.
What if you put diesel in a gas engine?
The engine would stop running. You would need to drain the gas tank. If the engine has been allowed to run since the diesel was added you would also need to drain the fuel line.

I would recommend not running the engine until the fuel is drained. Any amount of petrol/gasoline in a diesel can cause engine or fuel system damage.

How much would it cost to replace the throttle position sensor on a 1999 Jetta?
The cost to replace the throttle position sensor on a 1999 Jetta depends on whether the engine is gas or diesel. The gas engine throttle position sensor will cost around $100 just for the part. The diesel engine part is slightly higher. Labor costs are around $75 to $100 per hour depending on where the vehicle will be serviced. This job should take about one hour.
