Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help with this head scratcher! Golf has suddenly decided it doesn't want to start. I drove to the shops the other day and on return to the car, it was just cranking but not starting. After 3 or 4 mins I managed to get it started and got home without issue but it wouldn't start after parking up. In the evening, I managed to get it started first time and drove away, only for the car to judder and splutter to a halt 100yds down the road. Again, it cranked but would not start. After another 5 mins trying, i managed to get it started (with the throttle fully pressed down) and whizzed back home.
Since then, I've barely been able to get it started. It now only cranks, and on the rare occasions it does fire up, it cuts out after 2 or 3 seconds.
I've done a full scan with VCDS and did have a fault for engine speed sensor (G28). I cleared this fault and it hasn't flagged back up so i'm wondering if that was potentially a symptom of something else? I've got the part on order but any other suggestions in the meantime would be much appreciated! The tachometer was initially moving when trying to start but barely moves now.
Other points:
The fuel pump is priming and fuel is reaching the filter at least
I've tried both keys (in-case immobiliser issue)
Inspected Cam belt and don't see any damage/missing teeth
Battery 6 months old and fully charged
VCDS log below - ABS and steering angle faults due to me unplugging battery so not concerned about them
