My 8v is stranded in the middle of nowhere at my friends house but it wont start. It turns over fine and we've tried to jump start it but we have had no luck. What should I check first as I don't have a f**king clue! Please help
After cranking for 5secs it beeps

The only time the Mk3 beeps at you (AFAIK) is for oil pressure. This will come from the dash IMO. Check the oil level. Have you seen an oil warning light recently?

I had an issue like this with my car,
When started from cold, it would start perfecttly, but whn driven and engine is warm, and i parked up and i tried starting it again, it would not start, I had my doubts on the crank position sensor & knock sensor, but it turned out to be the temp sensor, so i un-plugged this and it fired up straight away, so then i hooked it up on VAGCOM and the in car temprature needle was standing on 90, but on VAGCOM, it was showing me that its on 71, so that was the culprit, giving false readings, have a look at that.
Thanks

Right guys, I got the car started at about 9:30 but the car was hesitating badly when I tried to accelerate in any gear. I got home ok (15miles), turned the car off and on again, same fault. I could open the throttle about 1/4 of the way until it would skip and miss, went out to it again this morning, perfect! No issue or any warning lights at all! I think it might have been playing up as I had to drive up a very rough gravel track just beforehand and I probably shock the ecu about too much, sound plausible?
Anyway I think that beep beep noise is the Stereo lol, It makes that noise 5 secs after you cut the power to it lol, I've only just got the car so I'm still learning about the golf, very different to this lol
