TAke off the fuel rail with inJectors, turn it upside down and turn it over see if fuel comes through, if not could be blocked injectors, or fuel filter. Do u hear the fuel pump prime?

Have a look on the search engine on here m8.Lots of people have had similar problems to yours which have pointed towards issues with the ECU and immobiliser.

  • VCDS and VCP - fault codes, coding, VIM activation

Which engine code? Suspecting anti-theft controller (control unit that sits behind the light swith), ECU relay - these very very often have bad solder points causing problems with starting.
I suggest that you check the third relay from the left in the upper row. Take it out, disassemble and check solder points... Same for the anti-theft controller.

Maybe this helps. Are there any faults stored in the ECU?
