Engine Will Not Start

[philboyvr6 0]

I came home for lunch and the VR6 was running fine. Tried to start it 30mins later and the engine just turns over with no signs of firing up. There appears to be no spark. I though it was the ignition amplifier/coil but I have replaced it and it is the same. Any ideas please?

How can I test or bypass the immobiliser?

had same problem.

1.bump start should get it running.

2.hall sender needs cleaning/replacing,if you have codes read 00515 should come up-faulty hall sender signal[g40].

hope this helps.

if you were gunner be late for a shag with abi titmus and parked on a hill would you you bump you vr?

The problem turned out to be a fault ignition switch.

So if everything appears to be OK but it your car wont start, this may be your problem (Im told by my mate at VW that this fault is not uncommon, this was the first thing he suggested).
