Car Won't Start After Wreck

MK6GTI-10

Passed Driver's Ed
Hi Guys,

What would make a mk6 GTI not start after a wreck? Car was in a front end collision and I have already sold the motor. However, after the wreck it did not start and I just curious as to why.

The Intercooler pipe right before the TB was damaged but all other piping was good. Intercooler/Rad were pretty banged up as well.

Thanks!!

Broad question = broad answer. Fuel, spark, or air.

many reasons could be the cause for after a wreck.

Sorry for the lack of information guys. I thought maybe after a wreck VW shuts off the pump or ignition. I know a car needs fuel, spark and air but assumed that problem was caused by the wreck.

Air and spark were not an issue. Was fuel related.

If the airbags blew, the ECU may disable the DME/Fuel Pump Relay until reset, as to not feed a fire hazard.

Just throwing that out !
