Sometimes( in the last two weeks), the car hesitated before starting. Now it won't start at all. My mechanic suggested trying different keys. Seemed to work when I used a backup key and a valet key, so I chalked it up to a bad key battery. That must have been a random result. It doesn't crank at...

Hi, I've got an '02 passat (diesel). After having it serviced (oil/ oil filter, air filter, pollen filter and fuel filter) on Sunday the mechanic took a couple of hours to get it started. He clamped off 1 of the pipes connected to the fuel filter in the end and we managed to start it. I drove...
