    Default Help! 2011 Jetta TDI Won't Shut Off

    Just got home from an Xmas road trip and my car won't shut off. It's a 2011 Jetta Tdi with push button start. I have obviously tried pushing the button many times and just disconnected the negative terminal from the battery, but still won't turn off.

    Any ideas??

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Pulling the battery terminal won't help since the car runs off the alternator once it's on, gotta cut fuel.

    Thanks guys, pulled the fuse and it shut off. Guessing it must be an issue with the ignition switch.

    There are many things that can cause this like the shut off valve, ignition switch, blow by etc..

    I would have it looked at by either a dealer or TuneDub before it happens again.

    If it was running off engine oil, pulling the fuel pump fuse wouldn't have killed it. Probably just dodgy VW electrics acting up. I'd take it to a VW specific shop like Tunedub or a dealer.
