Might be air, the VW common rails are a bit shitty for this as they do not self prime and if actually ran out need a bit of work to get them running (usually cranking and popping the return pipe off the filter). The filter housings are easy to crack when changing the filters also.
That said, it could also be a crank sensor showing no output, you will just have to run it and see what happens
Does it have a lift pump?
Also, might be worth changing the fuel filter, although it's a finickety process to bleed.
Sounds like you have a 'make good' lease
I didn’t expect any serious responsesYou mean once you've dug it out and relaid it?
I doubt it will clean out. I’ll try but I doubt it.
How big a deal - or costly is it, to have it concreted over or similar to rectify it? Cheers
A screed will never stick to it. Nor will any other coating.
Detergent, steam and time will mitigate it, but the only way to actually remove it is with a chisel.
