Been reading up on this one here and it looks grim.
The problem first popped up about a month ago. I pulled up to a curb and parked in front of a friend’s house, came back out 2 minutes later and it turned over fine, but wouldn’t start. Tried a few times, then waited a minute or so and tried again and it started normally. No further issues. About a week ago it happened again, same exact scenario, same exact house. I have no idea if that’s coincidental or what, but this time I had to give it about 3 minutes between attempts to get it to work, after that no issues until today. Turns over, but will not start. This time the engine is cold, both those other times the engine was hot. The car is parked on a slight grade with the drivers side elevated maybe 3 inches higher than the passenger side, inside a parking garage. Not sure if that’s a factor. Fuel pump was replaced 2 years ago, timing belt was done at the same time by a trusted VW mechanic. Any ideas where to go from here as far as diagnosis and repairs? Any advice helps.
