Why will a 2001 VW Passat not turn over?

Answer 1

Most likely he has to turn the ignition on when he tows the car, to prevent the steering lock from activating. As you know, leaving the ignition on will reset the system, so by the time he's back at the workshop the problem has gone away by itself.
