After not driving one of the 2002 TDIs, I started it up, and found that the ignition switch was intermittent, or so I thought.
Today the intermittent switch became a hard failure. So I did what most people would do...replaced the switch. After nearly 20 years and over 300k miles, I figured that made sense. So the old switch went out, and a new one in.
But that didn't do the trick.
In the morning I will hook up VDCS and try to find out what is going on. The bugs are a bit too thirsty tonight.
Since this is not the normal "my car won't start" I thought I would post for any ideas.
When the problem was intermittent, I would wiggle the key, usually putting the inside "down" and that would get it going. I have probably started it 25 times that way. Until today.
