My 2008 GTI seemed like it was taking a bit to start... so I bought a new gel cell battery, threw her on the ski, and got her started. Great! Ran well for a few hours. Put her away for the weekend, and came back to find the ski suddenly won't start up. She turns over, but suddenly I notice there is no spark, and the fuel injectors aren't firing. I notice they are connected to the same wiring grouping, so I have to think this might be connected.
It bears mentioning I recently changed out the steering wiring harness as my DESS post went bad. I did that a few weekends before the new battery. I've taken off the grounds on the front and the ground on the side and brushed them down with a brass brush, and put them back. Still nada. Wiring harness potentially bad? Or something more sinister?
