My vw golf 1.8 cabriolet 1996 wont start.
whenever i try to turn it on i get nothing apart from a message come up on my mileage counter that says something like in01 or Ln01. not to sure.
just bought the car battery is flat on it so was jump starting it.
it was working fine when i first jump started it but when i tried to do it again a few days later that was all i got.
any help would be appreciated.
Have the battery replaced and then use a scanner to reset the ECM

You need to charge your battery up more. Either get a battery charger or leave the jumper cables hooked up for a longer period of time.
Your battery was probably completely dead. You might even need a new battery...they really don't like to be completely drained.

key off and out,diconnect negitive side of battrey then postive.clean terimals,charge battrey,connect postive cable (with key off)connect negitive.and start.
your dead battrey is taking up a big load on system,so when you boost it the dead battrey is taking it all the starter is geeting vey little.thats the clicking.
if you dont have a charger dicconect both terminals the same way again,put the jumper cables on the dead battrey.let it charge battrey for 10 15 mins .the longer the better.remover jumpers.
with key off and out conected battrey terminals.connect jumper cables and start.
let me know if it start or not hopefully the key hasnt lost its coding.

Check the hose between the inletmanifold and the pipe to the brakeservo it normally gets old and a crack in so the engine sucks false air on cylinder 4, causing engine to run rough or uneven.
