Mend Volkswagen Caddy Diesel Van Starting Problem

1998 1.9 VW Caddy Diesel won't start?

VW ran perfectly for weeks but every so often failed to start. Does not fire at all (not even a cough!) Plenty of fuel and had been running perfectly till then.

The van is a 1998 diesel vw Caddy with a normally aspirated engine. 48KW output I think....1900cc?

how to get the timing right so the engine can starts

The engine starts best from cold normally. Can be a slow starter when hot or warm ( left for a half hour or so after a run)
I think the glow plugs are working ok.

Hi, May not be related but I had to manually wire the cold start plugs on mine ? Is it always from cold that it won't start?
