Why is my Volkswagen Passat having trouble starting?

I have a Volkswagen Passat that is having trouble starting. Sometimes it will just click when I turn the key, other times it will start but then immediately shut off. What could be causing this issue?

It sounds like there may be an issue with your starter or the starter solenoid. It's possible that it is failing and needs to be replaced. I recommend taking your Passat to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out.

Another possibility is that there is a problem with your ignition switch. If it's not making proper contact, it can cause issues with starting your car. You may want to have this checked by a professional as well.

One thing to check is your battery. Make sure it is fully charged and the connections are clean and tight. If your battery is old, it may be time to replace it. A weak battery can cause starting issues.
