Car not starting, just making ignition start noises

Hi,

By chance, could you upload the codes that were found? Also, I need you to check something for me. Either we lost spark or fuel to the engine. So, first, see if you notice the fuel pump prime when you first turn the key to the run position. Additionally, I need you to check for spark to the plugs. Once we determine which one is missing, it will narrow things down. Here is a link that explains how to test for spark:

I did attach the power distribution schematics below. Do me a favor. Check fuse number 31 in the fuse box at the right or left end of the dash. Based on the production date, it could be on either side. That fuse powers the ignition coils. Make sure that fuse is installed and in good condition.

I attached the fuse boxes (left and right and I highlighted the fuse to check. Here is a link you may find helpful as well:

I hope this helps. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below. Note: I had to cut the schematic pages in half to make them readable. I did overlap them for you so you can follow from one to the next.

Hi,

Were you able to check for spark to the plugs? Also, VW is really interesting with how they change fuse box layouts. I've seen four changes in one year.

Let me know the production date of the vehicle. It should be on a label on the door frame (driver's side).

Also, I want you to try something. See if it starts for a couple of seconds and then stalls if you use starting fluid.

Let me know.

Joe
