I'm having trouble trying to get my 2001 Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg to start. When I attempt to start it ,it runs only a brief moment then dies. I've changed the fuel filter and I hear the fuel pump running

Asked by Kevin Dec 30, 2013 at 01:43 PM about the 2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLS Wolfsburg Edition

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

when I turn the key on. There's a yellow light with a car and key flashing on the dashboard. I'm thinking maybe there's a problem with the security system. It cranked it a moves it then the next day my battery was dead.. I tried to jump it then I had the problem as I explained in the beginning of my question. Any suggestions?

Your keys needed to be recoded, also check your car battery to see if it is dead.

Fully charge your battery leave your key on for ten to twenty minute with charger still running it should reprogram your car and key. The light will go out if this works. If it don't your chip in your key is either bad or it came from a different car or someone has changed the dash. The key and dash have to come from the same car because the transponder is in the dash gauges cluster for the key

The key transponder is in your instrument cluster. These have got to either bee from the same car or you need a new key and to get it reprogrammed by the dealer.

i have a 2004 vw jetta 1.8t and i tried to start it one day and it only cranked. i know i need a new battery, but when it was charged i could hear the pump hum and i had changed the oil. i changed the crankshaft position sensor and all the spark plugs and fuel filter and still no start. i changed the pump relay and still nothing im at my wits end and i need my second car to start runnin. its not getting any fuel because i tried starting fluid in the spark plug area and it fired right up its not leaking from any hoses. the only thing i changed in it was a battery for the keyless entry and the oil. i have the check engine light on and when i try to start it the battry sounds like its losing power and the oil light will start flashing. what is the malfunction. i know it needs air fuel and spark, and fuel is my problem. 7 Answers

tried everything i could think of. the car also has the epc light on.
