I am learning to do some work myself but the Jetta will be way beyond my skills. I have a neighbor who is a master mechanic who will guide/push me through it all. About the car. I picked up the Jetta in November of '13 with...

Coil Packs
Camshaft Adjuster Magnet
Fuel Injectors (All 4 new)
Light Carbon Cleaning to intake valves while replacing fuel injectors as well

So I pulled the fuel line loose at filter which is the supply line from tank. When turned I key on--- but not to start/ crank pos...
