Have you tried kick staring it? Just to make sure the engine is ticking over. Could be a starter issue. Also, I have found these cars are very fussy when it comes to earthing. Make sure your earth cable to and from the battery is secure. Really hard one to diagnose. Do you have NRMA or access to a mobile mechanic? Might wanna give them a shot.

Coilpack.

does the engine turn over and just won't fire up, or it not even turning over? If it's turning over but not firing, then I would agree with Water Boy. Sam's Ibiza GTi was fine one day, then all of a sudden, wouldn't fire up. Swapped the coil pack from a MK3 2.0 and it fired up, so this could be your issue. Sourced one from the UK ebay for about $30. There are a few people breaking MK3 golfs on here, so I would try and get another one and see if that works (or better still try and find someone who will lend you theirs to try).
