Golf 5 GTi starting issue
Hi Everyone. New to this forum. Anyway, I have a manual Golf 5 GTi, 2007 model. Car refuses to start when key is turned full. Everything else works with the key..... electric windows, radio, etc. Tried starting with cable from solenoid to battery but nothing. Car however starts when it’s kick started. Any input from anyone?

Re: Golf 5 GTi starting issue
Does the car drive fine once started? Mine did the same but found out the battery wasn’t charging due to the alternator being faulty.
