Yes it should move when energized. You can just cut off the plunger and stick it back in. It will start but you will have to use the manual shut off to kill the engine.

Yes its intented to move.

The plunger is stuck and won't move at all. Its sticking out of the recess slightly and I may be able to pull it out...but maybe not.
So when the solenoid is energized, the plunger moves inward (sucks back in), thereby opening the valve? My simple mind had assumed the opposite. May be a moot point, because that plunger seems to be stuck good. I can't get any movement out of it. |

Interesting, I have never seen one do this and here are two mentioned in this thread that have broken.
I might have an extra one off my old Rabbit that I could send you. Any older diesel will have a solenoid you can use, or a new one is probably not too expensive either. George

George, much obliged but they're cheap enough and I'll order one tomorrow. I found one at vwdiesel.com for $10 + $4 shipping. Will try to order one locally though if I can get it faster.
After seeing the picture, I see now the tip has indeed separated from the solenoid body and lodged itself in the injection pump. No wonder why nothing moved when I energized it. I'll snap a couple pictures to satisfy your curiosity. |

In the meantime Jason, think I'll try your suggestion and see if it pumps fuel and runs.

Does this car have a mechanical fuel pump? Where is it? My car is having an issue of no fuel to the fuel filter, let alone to the injector pump... I'm coming up empty everywhere I look???? THANKS in advance... -Tim

Diesel pump itself is the mechanical pump.
It drains fuel from tank, and really leaky pump (many seals "gone") could cause situation where it wouldnt drain any. But i believe your fuel lines are blocked by some materia in lines, which shouldnt be there. |

Ok, how did you pull it? mine is surrounded by hoses and tubes.
I would LOVE to know what socket or wrench combination you used to get it out, I beleive my cutoff solenoid has failed. Thanks, Tim

I'm not sure of the size, but whatever wrench you can fit on it. I have had to use a chisel and hammer to get some of them out of the pump they were so tight.
