Hi I have a 2001 jetta 1.8t. Im having a problem and I don't really know what it is and what is causing it. My car was working fine this morning and afternoon but at night I tried to start it up and it wouldn't turn on. It just made the sound but it didn't completely start up. So I was wondering if you guys can give me an idea on what it could be?

If you're turning the key to cranking position and its not cranking over at all/nothing is happening-

Could be the starter, starter relay, transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good.
