Starting problems
I have a VW Passat Typ 32, 1.6 automatic. I've bought it as a restoration project. It has not been started for 5 years, so I changed some of the fuel lines, fluids, and cleaned it up a bit ( not to much because I want to swap the engine with an 1.8 16v ).
Everything seems OK but it doesen't start. It has fuel, but no spark ( even with the battery full ), I tested all the components and all seem to be ok… I'm at a dead end.
Any tips for a newbie mechanic. I've atached some photos of the engine and a clip to hear what it does. In the video the battery is almost dead and sorry for all the moving kinda hard to film from the cabin
How are the spark plugs connected? Now they are like this:
+++++
+__4_+
+++++
+__3_+______2+4
+++++_____+____+
+__2_+______3+1
+++++
+__1_+
+++++

Also check for spark at the coil king lead during cranking. If it doesn't spark, then you're into checking the 12V coil wiring, including checking the dwell angle.
