I have a golf 3 and there is spark up to the coil but from the coil no spark. I have replaced the coil and the problem is still there. I have replaced all the plug cables, distributor cap as well.

If you have power going to the coil but not out, then the likely issue is the coil, but we need to check the power output transistor to find out if it is interrupting the signal to the coil which will create the voltage spike needed.

If you check the wiring diagram below, I suspect you will find this is the issue or the ECM is not commanding this to happen.

So, at this point, you have an issue with this, or the ECM so let's check this and find out what the issue is.

Thanks
