It does sound like a priming issue. It would be odd for the car to drive in one day, turn it off and the pump simultaneously sh1t its self. But not Impossible.
Change the filter, prime everything, crack the injector fittings and crank it til the fuel comes through..re tighten and it should fire up.
Did the 1.5t not have a hand plunger pump or am I confused? I thought it was on the filter housing but from the pic it doesn't look like it.
Hand fill the filter bowl to make your life easier.
