No start, no spark, no good

richmt · 10-29-2008, 11:02 AM

Hey, drove my 2000 1.8T (ATW)home after a four hour trip - noticed the clutch was beginning to go. While I had the car apart to change the clutch, I changed the timing belt, water pump, plugs, oil, etc. Anywho...the car will not start, not even turn over. The dash lights up, now the EPC light is on with the strangest beeping noise. Checked the fuses and wiring, but I am at a loss for what to do next, any suggestions?

My guess is to check the starter. Perhaps you forgot a wire down there or mixed up when reinstalling clutch.

If it does turn, but doesn't fire plugs, that's a different issue. But... you said, 'No start, no spark'... so is it cranking / trying to start at all?

Sometimes with doing timing on the car if u turn the motor the wrong way the cams jump timing..
