Re: MK3 not starting

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be really grateful.

Thanks
It sounds like the factory fitted immobiliser is cutting off the supply. There is a chip in the key which must be recognised by a black collar ring which surrounds the ignition, unclip this and try it then replace it. The ECU might also need reprogrammed.
