HI all-
I've just picked up a 1996 Jetta with the 2.0l gas engine that will not start- I smell gas when cranking and it has spark, so I assume the engine computer and fuel sytem is ok- It "feels" like a slipped timing belt, as it does not even pop at all when cranking, but an inspection of the timing belt shows it to be in very good conditon- I'm thinking it may be a blown head gasket, and I would appreciate any opinions as to what may be wrong.
I haven't worked on any of the EFI VWs, so any advice would be welcome.
Thanks!
Ed
