It will be an utter waste of time unless you are prepared to connect the full exhaust system. you will not be able to hear any knocking or other faults as you will be deaf.
Hope this helps.  :shock:

As its a simple tdi, you need 12v on the solenoid on the fuel pump,   and 12v to the starter motor to start it. Dont run it for more than 30 secs with coolant as you risk doing serious damage

If it's got oil in it you could do a compression test usinga good battery, that doesn't mean starting it but don't use a petrol compression tester.
