It is either a voltage drop to the solenoid or the starter is fautly.I am an auto electrician so I know what I am talking about.Measure the voltage with a multimeter at the solenoid wire from the key,it should not drop below 9 volts

sound like your vehicle has an electronic problem have the vehicle check the re-installing the radio by-passing the original radio circuit

Disconnect the gear stick from the gearbox.Then see if you have side movment.If so ur gear box selector shaft is jammed.

Sometimes the lock needs lubrication. Spray in a little WD40, or drip a little oil from the dipstick onto the key and insert it. One time some vindictive person broke off a stick in my wife's lock. I managed to pulverize the stick with a drill.

If no one can get you the code you will have to call the dealer with vin and serial number on the back of radio vw charges up to $75. for the code good luck.

What is the whole problem and what is the make and model of the car?

They have to be pressed in. VW dealers can do it on the car. The other solution is to remove the steering knuckle and get the bearings over to a machine shop and have them fix it.

check the crank sensor before going to the ECM also check the fuse link and check all fuses

check fuse number 17 in fuse block if ok check bulbs <you said they turn on just don't flash so thats ok> the relay feeds power to the switch cluster but the flasher unit itself is built into the combo switch for turn signal/hazard switch

1. check for low coolant
2. check for bad thermostat (open all the time ) it should open and close
3. look for cooling far work all the time

try unhooking the battery while the battery is disconnected turn the ignition on leave the ignition on while you reconnect the battery this should override the alarm

everytime you change a clutch, it is good practice to change the pressure plate also. in this case, thats what I would do.

Have you changed the printed curcuit At the back of the dash?If you have then check the multie plugs.

Go to your public library and check out a service manuel for your specific car in the manuel will be the procedure for changing oil and other important info specific to your car including changing your oil filter

Hello
Your engine oil should be as follows

for cold climate 5W/30 semi-synth
for moderate climate 15W/40 semi-synth
for hot climate 20W/50 semi-synth
alternative moderate climate 10W/40 semi-synth

Your coolant system holds 10ltrs from empty you will be able to get this from your VW dealer (just use red or blue anti-freeze)

If its running fine on 95 benzine but you would be better putting a higher benzine in the car.

Dealer needs to give you the code, unless its in the documentation you recieved for the car. you will have to prove ownership to the dealer, but itsx not a big deal

If you have the ALDL connector it will be under the dash on the drivers side. I am not so sure VW used this connection. If you do have it though you can jump out the 2 terminals on the right upper side of the connector to pull up trouble codes. Count the check engine light flashes for the codes.  flash----flashflash is 12 and flashflash------flashflashflash is 23 watch it close so you don't miss a flash!!!

It is more than likely the starter. The brushes are becoming worn and when you try starting it there is an arch between the brushes and the armature when after a few time it will make contact on then start.

When mine failked it was due to a weak fuel relay, which was intermittent (more off than on) Replaced fuel relay and it fdired up immedately. Checked old relay and with full 12 volts it pulled in, but anything less it would not pull the contacts home. 

Check the fan it is not running,
