Just bought this car yesterday,

2006 Jetta 2.0T with 73K kms

No Mods

Well it almost made it a whole day.....

I drove the car to work today, all was good...was gonna head over to the registries office to get some plates, but when I got in the car to start it, it fired up for a second.....chugged...then died. Now there is a burning smell from under the hood, it will crank but it wont start,


Help!!

Electrical burning, oil burning, gas burning, coolant burning(this should smell somewhat sweet)???

The car prob still has factory comprehensive warranty (under 3yr/80K) on it, if not extended so I'd call VW Roadside Assistance and get it towed to your nearest VW dealer. If it by chance doesn't have any fact. warranty left, I'd check the ignition coils first then go from there. Is it throwing any CEL's/MIL's?

Ok I have somehwat found the issue. It keeps blowing a 20A fuse, everytime I change the fuse it will start then die. Problem is I cant locate any manual or diagram of what fuse it is.....
