    It could be a number of faults. Glow plug relay, glow plugs, fuel supply, etc, etc.....

    But start by checking the glow plug fuse, it should be mounted in a housing on top of the battery - just lift the cover and check the strip fuses. If that's OK then you'll need to see if the glow plugs are working - this is best done with an ammeter/amp clamp.

    Don't be silly, its a VW. It never breaks down. Go back out and start it again - you must have tried the Renault beside it by accident. ;)
