Friend has asked me to find out on here if anyone knows what his issue his with his engine.
Basically my mate was on his way to work doing 60mph when without warning he had no drive, the AA were called out and checked the basics, fuel pump is fine and kicks in when it should, all fuses/relays have power going to them and there no fault codes, yet it won't start at all.
He has just recently drove from newquay to castle combe and back and had no issues at all until this morning.
Any ideas please chaps?

Cambelt? Crank sensor? No fuel? Could be anything.

Depending how badly the crank sensors gone it wont start. No signal from crank = no spark = engine wont fire.

Being a GTI 180 it should also have a cam shaft position sensor fitted as well so it should start even if it would be in limp home mode.

Get the ecu codes read. It may show a fault. Or maybe someone close to you with pp2000

hi guys its my car. (black 180 at FCS with GT kit) Basically i haven't got a clue whats wrong with it... fuel primes.. sparks fine.. all fuses relays etc all been checked over. everything is ground as it should.. all sensors fitted correctly showing no signs of deterioration. in theory it should just start up. i can hear it wanting to go, almost like it coughs but just doesn't take. the ride is very hard and I'm hoping that its just rattled something loose. (but what, i don't know)
had no problems before this, started fine as i left work, almost home and she just cut out. no engine management light came on prior. the AA guy plugged his diag machine into my car and it said ECU was working correctly no faults shown...
i know on the smaller engine 206's there was a fuel cut off switch but in the 180's they are built into the ECU with the airbag or something i believe. so no red switch to push in the engine bay.
Cheers for the help guys, keep it coming

Try checking the earth strap from the battery.One of the engineers had the same problem on a 106, and all he done was take off the strap and clean around where it was attached to the body.no problems since.
worth a try.

As paul said. Remove the battery as you should the safe way. Unscrew tray and check the earth strap under there

cambelt slipped? check all normal things, compression , fuel pressure on the rail, as the pump pressure in the tank regulator could be stuck open,check static cam timing
