Changed the pads and calipers and rotors on TDI. Driver side will not bleed.

When you mean not bleed do you mean not fluid comes out or that air keeps coming out of the bleeder? If the fluid is not coming out I would crack the line loose at the caliper and then push on the pedal to see of the caliper is getting pressure and it is a bleeder issue. If no pressure is observed I would expect the brake flex hose from the frame to the caliper. Here is a video and guide below to help you bleed the brake system correctly.
