Could be in need of a tune up... carb and timing adjustment. New plugs,wires,rotor, dist cap.Tune ups are needed on a regular basis ussualy once a year depending on the amount of miles you put on the car? The charging system sounds o.k but tune up may be in order.
sounds like pluged catalitic converter or egr valve
No you were driving and it quit.and if it cranks it is turning over. check for spark at the spark plugs and also for fuel pressure at the injector rail.
that sounds like your starter motor isn't working, which would explain why there is no noise when you try to restart it
Sometimes a car stalls when driving though water because water got sucked up into the engine. This can cause a lot of damage, so don't attempt to restart the car after it stalls. Have the car towed so the engine can be stripped down and drained of the water.
A lot of newer VW's have to be reprogrammed by the dealer just to restart after the battery has been completely drained. Sure hope it's not that, costs a lot from the dealer, sometimes they even have to come to the vechile itself to reprogram it since it won't come out of park sometimes. Good Luck!!!!
More detail is needed. Does it crank? Battery new?
the ground to the battery i had the same problem on my truck
No it will not restart
take out the battery or press the restart button
If you're driving a manual, it means that you've stalled out. Turn off the car and restart.
starter
If it won't crank, which is probably what you really have going on, it means your battery went bad while you were driving.
if you mean changing the battery without having to reset ecu immobilizer etc then jump power from another car to yours to keep the programs while you change the battery
take out the battery
take the battery out : )
fuel pump
Fuel... either you ran out or the pump stoped working, it could also me that the alternater failed and the battery died.
