morning... welcome to the forum

you may have better luck asking a question in the mk3 section... however here is a guide to the common faults and fixes fr mk3's

My suspect would be the coil if you're not getting any spark

hi over the last week or so i have,changed the crank sensor,changed the coil pack ,checked all leads and conctions ,still not getting spark at spark plugs .. :angry:......
starting to become major problem as i have removed the immobizer ,i thought it shouldnt be problem but ive read on here that if i remove immobizer while car isnt running it may make no difference it needs to be running  whikle removing or csu wont reconize its been removed and will not let the car spark ,..
 anyone no how to get over this if it wont start how do i get round this problem..can you reset csu somehow..
