my 98 passat estate has a fob with the drivers key which activates the alarm in the boot,bit like an immobiliser, just put it in the hole located near or on the alarm,should hear it beep.don't know if its a factory fit alarm.hope this was helpful.

okay start hear turn key three times in a row there should here the fule pump prime ie a whizing noise you may not here this so now check the dash look for engine light it might flash if it dose it might be a code this is stored in the computer in your car .now this is where it gets tricky you need a code reader.but now what is the fact the year of the car and is it flueinjected tbi or carb and what year im not saying im a expert there a lot to go over start with check your manule then all ie oil coolent the right way by the book''''''I think it:is a seneser oil or coolent if the vw golf is 82 or newer but it dose matter what country the is in .in germany from 1975 the vw rabbit was a golf so it would help to know but find vw dealer there not cheep but they know golf I will say this if you smell petrol do not srart the car look for a leak if you find one fix it now dont wait it will cause a fire

ok so the same thing just happened with my jetta. So heres what worked for me: take off the door panel (drivers side) and you should see some melted or bunched wires together. just snip them and leave them be. It was either the wires or the sensor that messed everything up. This should work.

my 1997 sub outback wont restart
i replaced the crank sen. it dose get spark
the fuel dose pump out when i take line off exit at filter when key is turned on and also when cranked
diagnostic test says po141- 02sensor heater circuit malfunction and
p0325 knock sensor bank 1 or single sensor would any of this cause it not to restart if not i heard maybe the temp. send. but the coolent gauge reads good and coolent fans turn on it is not overheating

Maybe your key remote batteries need to be changed. Also have it scanned for DTC's which I believe you may have quite a few stored in memory, problems you weren't aware of.

be sure you have remove all bolts on the far back corner of the pan.WATCH OUT some volk wagon engine you have to drop subframe. to get the oil pan off.

You will need to dry out all the electrical connections(plugs)Usualy done with compressed air.Sounds like a water based short that usualy goes away once you dry it all out.Also pay particular attention to ignition system.Good luck.
