Default 02 TDI Beetle TDI no start

I have a buddy that loaned his beetle to someone and when he got it back he was told that it wouldn't start.
Well battery was dead, so new battery went in. Now it will crank just fine, but will not fire.
Any thoughts of where to start?

I am very familiar with the Ford 7.3 deisel, but never touched a VW TDI

Thanks!

Does the glow plug light come on when he first turns the key? If so, Relay 109 is ok. If not, then I would be changing out the relay
