I must admit that the sudden onset of the problem is more indicative of a sudden component failure, and can only suggest that you once again systematically check through the fuel and electric systems in a bid to identify the culprit. I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful.

Indeed the bosch plugs were and still are essential for the older turbo engines , Another point the battery needs to be fully charged connected to the charger at all times when you are there doing your test starts and diagnosing ..
