What is the proper hook up of positive and negative cables on starter i hooked up cables and tried to start it and it just clicked and sparked on battery?
The positive cable is hooked on the solenoid contact and the negative is hooked to the body of the car. With such connections you will never get the sparking issues.

How can you make a car without a battery move?
If your car has a battery and it's dead, you can call a friend who has some jumper cables. You can hook the jumper cables up to his battery and your car's battery. It should create electricity that will renew your battery. If your car does not have a battery, you would have to push it or get it towed.
How do you remove a battery from a 2001 Passat 1800TI?
Best and easiest way to change battery in any Volkswagen. Remember if your computer loses power it will go into limp mode and you will find yourself at the dealership for vag-com. Have a friend with a good battery and a set up jumper cables and hook cables from his battery to yours, loosen battery terminals on your battery and carefully remove battery with out knocking the cables off (remember keep power to the battery cables on your WW). Carefully install your new battery and tighten the terminals. With jumper cables still hooked to your car start your engine, then remove the jumper cables. I would then take car for a short drive to ensure that there is a full charge to the battery you just installed.

This is because each time the battery is disconnected, the computer in the car loses power. When the new battery is hooked up, the computer system needs to be reset to stop the lights from blinking.
