Volkswagen does not provide a no-start testing procedure.

If engine does not crank, verify that anti-theft system is not a cause. Refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems - Testing and Inspection - Procedures [1][2]Component Tests and General Diagnostics

If fault does not lie in anti-theft system check for basic engine operational requirements; ie: fuel pressure, fuel quantity, injector pulse, ignition spark.
