Check the ignition control unit, but if th4e starter does not turn check the solenoid, and any wiring to the starter.

Had the mk2 ready to leave this morning to go to the Portlaoise meet and it wouldn't start

When turning the ignition to the 1st position the fuel pump primes
but when I turn it to the 2nd position nothing happens

Battery is fine, think it may be the ignition switch.
I have a spare ignition switch so think I might plug it in to see if thats it.
Anyone had a similar problem?

To correct my first statement, the battery is dead.
Tried to charge it tonight & it wouldn't take any.
Hopefully with a new one in tomorrow that will be me sorted

After some more searching the positive terminal on the starter was a bit loose, so did a swap for the one on the blue golf & car started first time
