Audi 80 don't start
Variant: 1.9 TDI
Model Year: 1994
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
It had not been serviced for a year, then gave it a good oil flush, new oil filter,fuel filter,and 5lrt oil. Also put "Gas Treatment" in the tank; took it for a spin everything seemed fine then parked it.
Later on drove it but as drove, it started to have some sort of "flat Spot", then some sort of jamming, then a stopped, checked only to spot some sort of air in the system and also desiel had turned milky with white substances which thoughtfully might have caused blockage someway in the system.
P/s help!
Tried to suffocate it with Clutch and Brake cleaner, it runs but as soon as it uses it all, it dies.
Took out the tank, cleaned, replaced with clean desiel etc but still it would not run or start but cranks.

sounds to me like you have trapped air in the system check everything that you have done is ok and tight and you will have to start by bleeding the diesel system to get rid of any trapped air in the system but start at the pump/filter area and work your way towards the injectors but be very careful as doing this is dangerous as the injectors are very powerful and would advise you get a mechanic/diesel specialist on it
