Hello,
I'm having an issue with my VW GTI 2009 where the engine won't start when I turn the key. I don't hear the tick tick tick tick or anything of the spark plugs. So far I've checked the battery and it does read 11.56 V but charging it or attempting to jump the car doesn't work. The tower guy had a portable jump starter and after trying it, he didn't believe it was the battery. All my lights seem to turn on and work. It worked fine yesterday when I drove to the grocery store. It wouldn't start when I tried to start it to get back home. I may have smelled a slight bit of electronic smell after the first couple times I tried to start. I did not hear any sounds beforehand. Let me know if there is anything else I should check.
