Default Lost control Won't start!

I lost control of my TT at about 100mph and went into a field. Everything is ok but it won't start.. Does it have trip switch or something?

Your car probably just hates you right now, try buying it some chocolates or flowers...

Seriously though... just because the car looks ok on the outside doesn't mean major damage wasn't done. I'd take it to a shop and have it fully looked over before I drove it 10 feet. Whether it starts or not.

Who knows what looks good, and is about ready to fall off the next time you hit a pothole...

Congrats on keeping it shiny side up at 100mph in a field.
Even ifit was more luck than anything else.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had major suspension damage.
Even though that wouldn't stop the car from starting. You may wish to considering getting her flat-bedded to the dealer.

there really isn't any money at the moment for a dealership ride. I just need to get this thing started. What would keep it from starting?

check battery terminals, check for wire damage under the car, check fuses....


Go here, and start thinking of what could have been...

Is there a reset button on the ECU ?

Does the car turn over, or do nothing at all?

I've heard of cars having a roll over switch that kills the engine, and would need to be reset, but I don't know of something like that on the TT.

You need to take it to the dealer. - If anything you may have a totaled car. - Your insurrance will need to be contacted.


However air bourne at 100mph is impressive.

However, you want to make sure that your car isn't leaking anything before you start it. - That sounds like a nasty spill.
