It turns over but will not start. No fire. And the anti-theft is off. Well, the light on door lock quit flashing when i opened the back hatch. Is there a fuse somewhere that could be stopping it from having fire to the plugs? i am new to the VW.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Do you have a live data scanner? If you do, can you check to see if there is an RPM signal to the scanner when the engine is cranking? Also, do you hear the fuel pump prime? I will also need the date it was made. There should be a label on the door frame in the driver's door.

Let me know.
