I had a similar problem..it started at fist then wouldn't turn over. does it have an alarm?, if so, the alarm could be stopping you from starting it, i disconnected the alarm and bypassed the wires, and it worked fine
For a few bucks you can check the ignition switches. this is common with the jetta. the switch is about $25.00 and is easy enough to test, remove the steering wheel cowl. the igniton switch wiring connector is on the botom right. pull the connector and connect your new switch,. use a small flat head screwdriver to turn switch over. if it is it i would suggest having your local auto tech install switch. trying to do it yourself without special tools will make you mad. good luck!!
I have a 1995 vw jetta 2.0 manual transmission. i still have the same problem--no start--no click.
i checked the clutch pedat switch wiring with a tester and found that there is no power coming
from the wire. what now?
First things first,
deactivate the imobiliser and try and start it,
if it still wont budge try it manually, by shorting
out the starter.

i have a 1995 jetta with a 2.0 manual transmission.when you turn the key on,just the dash lights come on--no click. i thought the starter was bad, so i just put a starter on and it still does the same thing-no click. what do i do now?
I just replaced the headgasket, I had the same problem with starting, and a mechanic told me it was the head gasket. after extensive work on replacing the gaskets, we still had the same problem. the car turns over but it seems theres no juice to kick it into starting. what is going on? is this electrical?
My car was hesitating to start, then after four tries and it started. The car was making a ringing noise followed by a heavy sound as if something came loose, the car still had enough power so I can drive it to a safe place and park it. I turned off the car, smelled something burnt. Tried to turn the car back on but now it doesn't, though the car lights turn on. What do you think is wrong?
