Did you know that when you jump start newer vehicles, access voltage can be generated from the other vehicle giving the jump, and that access voltage can damage the vehicle getting the jump. The vehicle's computer and/or other electronic components can be damaged. If your computer gets damaged, it will forget how to start. A replacement computer can cost several thousand dollars.

Sounds like to me a small exhust leak either a exhust manafold gasket or exhust flange gasket or cracked exhust manifold. Anything else would be enteral meaning valves need to be set, bad lifter, bad rod bearing, bad oil pump, or timing chain tensioner, BUT I would be willing to put my money on an exhust leak or timing chain tensioner it's one of the 2

The best way is using a VAG-COM to reprogram it, but you can also try putting your key in your ing, leaving your drivers.door open, turning the key to the on position but not starting it, don't touch.anything, wait two minutes, then turn the key off and then start your car, let.it run for a couple of minutes again not touching anything, then go for.a 10 minute ride, most of the.time this will work, if not you have to use the VAG-COM or have a shop that.has one do it.

I can't say that this is what is wrong with your bug, but ours would start and die, start and die, over and over. Turns out that it lost it's computer program and both the computer and keys had to be reprogrammed. The dealer said he had never seen this happen before. Good luck!

Is this for a ignition coil output stage open circuit? If so you need to rerun the ground wire. Just but the wire close enough to the coil that you can still get to the wire and splice another wire to it. Just splice a wire to the brown wire and run the rest of the wire to a ground lug under the battery. You will need to remove the battery and the tray. Also when you hook the battery back up make sure the key is on. This will reset alarm and radio. Remember, you are grounding the coil so the wire should go from the coil to ground. Hope this helps
