Hello everyone,

I own a mk5 golf 1.9tdi bxe 2008, ive been taking great care of her and she pretty much replied with the same level of respect until 2 days ago.

I tried to start her up after i came back home from work and nope.. she wont budge, the moment i turn the key, the engine seems to want to start up but then immediately dies, just like when you try to start the engine with no immo. Heres the video:

Shes had cold starts before with 0 issues..

To make matters even weirder, the next morning I tried to start her up again and this time the engine started immediately without coughing or any other issues. When i came back from work I retried and yeah.. shes dead again...

After contacting my mechanic he said that its most likely an electric fault and i now need to find a guy to look into it. Any guesses what might be ?

Fuel pump ? Battery ? Some wire somewhere ?

Start with a scan for direction. See what faults, if any, pop up.
