Drove this jetta in the morning, went out 5-7 hours later & the car won't start. I charged the battery, checked the fuses, checked the cables & changed the starter out. I'm not sure what it can be how will I know? I know it has a lot of miles but this car was running great before

If the starter does not turn, then either the starter is bad or the alarm module is preventing the starter from turning.

If the engine is turning, then it is fuel or ignition related.
