another problem with my GTi, to follow on from my brokrn connector, and scrubbing issues
Problem now is the car does not want to start.
It turns over , but seems to lack a spark to fire the engine.
Any ideas? ive checked the sparks and they were ok
Help much appreciated guys

Check the fuel line - that could well be the problem.
Also the fuel pump fuse.

Had a very similar problem with mine and it turned out to be the temp sensor.
