Hi I'm having problems with my car. It sometimes won't start first thing if its cold or damp outside but usually fires up after a few attempts. However, yesterday it just refused and wouldn't start. Turning over ok every time. My dad had a quick look and said there is no spark and fuel not getting through to the plugs so hopeing its nothing I have done due to letting it run low on fuel. The coil was changed last year and the service lights are on as its due a service. I did run it very low on fuel (female) and thought it might be that and put a couple of cans of petrol in but still won't start so wondering if it could be something else? I can smell fuel when I'm driving it and it makes me feel sick. Anybody have any ideas please? I know its a common fault with golfs of this year or so I'm told.
check ignition relay common fault
check if engine light is on if not thats your fault

Sorry forgot to mention that it cuts out about 10 times a day usually at junctions and traffic lights and even on roundabouts. Usually starts again though when this happens. Up until now anyways :(
