Hi everyone, my loved mk4 is refusing to start

No spark is getting to spark plugs, I have replaced coil pack, leads, plugs and crank shaft sensor. Nothing worked!

Car ran fine until loss of power then stalling,then refusal to start.

Can anyone please advise me on what to try next.

    Sounds like your not getting an electrical connection to the coil pack, have you checked the connection between the battery and the coil pack?

    It's getting power. It gets really hot when key is at ignition.

    Had an auto electrician round today. Couldn't find the fault.

    I'm really at a loss now. The new coil pack wasn't the cheap option so I'm fairly sure its not faulty.

    Auto electrician says its ECU. Found a car for sale that's identical to mine. Might just buy it and swap over all my good parts. Heart breaking but think it has to be done.

    Probably the better option unfortunately.

    Check the ECU plug first, make sure the connections are clean.

    Got hold of a second hand ecu with transponder etc. All numbers and code match mine. Hopefully that might bring it to life. Anyone know if it will require programming?
