Buddy was driving car thru parking lot, it died out of no where and would not start again. Tried to jump start it and failed. Tested battery with DMM and read 12.49V on static test, tested starter at pep boys and it passed. Engine will not crank but when turning the key over we hear a high pitched spinning noise.
Sounds like starter isnt engaging. ..
Hey the pitched spinning noice sounds like alternators could be no good. You can try banging on the alternator see if it does anything if it does then you kno what it is.
The high pitched spinning sound you hear is the starter bendex trying to engage the flywheel. The starter may check out ok, but the bendex is turning but coming out. The starter will need replaced.

the no data error can be contributed to a bad interface cable or the scaqn tool was configured wrong and therfore could not connect to the ecm. I would recommend having a scan done again by a certiefied volkswagon tech chances are the mechanics used the wrong adapter cable or reader card. your smog problem could be that your evap canister is clogged therfore gives a bad reading.unfortunately you have to have a scan done but try an independant small shop that delas exclusively with foreign cars such as porche andd mercedez. the will have the correct scan tool and will be much cheaper than a dealership. your cost should be no more than 50 dollars US ... please rate this. thanks

Oxygen will feed fire, especially in a devil car, so u only have one O2 sensor, located under the devil car, passenger side, below seating area, in front of the catalytic converter, mounted in the exhaust pipe.

Check your battery cables for tightness, especially your ground cable. Now you have a new battery, so you have eliminated that as the source of the problem. Turn on your headlights, do they go out or very dim when attempting to start the car? If so, you have a poor electrical connection somewhere - loose cable, bad cable, possibly bad ignition switch.

Ok. The car performs a bunch of silent self tests when you are driving. One of these, and if I had to bet, would be the evaporative emission tests- basically the car checks to make sure any evaporating fuel is going where it should be, and not getting released into the air to pollute, blah blah... What this has done, in addition to remove a teeny tiny amount of pollution is to drive techs and car owners crazy.
The car wants a certain speed, distance, temperature, and moon phase to complete these tests. If you are only traveling 15 miles back and forth to work everyday then the car might not find the "ideal" condition to finish the tests. This weekend, go for a drive somewhere. Somewhere far, so you have to burn through a half tank of fuel, at the very least.
