Hi, I'm a newby and this is probably a fairly straightforward problem but, after reading the other articles, didn't see one that specifically matched.
In a nutshell, my passat won't start anymore. Symtoms: -turn key to first position -->no problem, check lights come on, radio is fine, headlights seem to have plenty of brightness
-turn key to starter position -->dash indicator lights flash rapidly and hear a faint fast clicking noise.
I actually did buy a VAG COM system (v 3.1.1) just coincidentally a few months back. Ran a scan and came up clean.
Any help is appreciated.
