[s-cars] Dreaded no start...

OK, where's this fuse? My car is in a "no run" situation, along with the "no
controller found" from VAG-COM. Sounds like this fuse might be a culprit,
but I have no idea where it is. Above the ECU in the passenger footwell?
There's no specific mention of an engine controller or ECU fuse in the
fusebox accessible from the driver's door, nor in the relay panel above the
firewall in the engine compartment. I've spent a fair amount of time in the
astronaut position under the dash, and can't remember having seen a third
fuse panel under there.

Charlie,
I'll once again bet on a coil shorted to ground. Blows 15 amp fuse above the
ecu.... (third from the left maybe?) One way to check which coil is shorted
is to disconnect one coil at a time, put in a new fuse, turn on ignition.
If fuse blows, its not that coil.
If fuse does not blow, the now disconnected coil is the defect.
That's my vote..
Might as well change all the coils IME..
