    2007 Mk5. 5 speed with 78,000 mi. I drove it one day and then two days later I hopped in and it would not start. Turn the key and nothing. Battery is almost new and tests at 12.6 v. I checked the cable to the starter and is receiving 12v there. I want to check the ignition wire to the solenoid...

    Can't get my 1998 VW Golf started. The digital display of my car's mileage and the time of day reads perfectly as it always does when the car isn't running. I turn the ignition and get nothing whatsoever from the engine. However, the gauges move slightly and some display indicators flash...
