Hey , have a 2.8 v6 b5 and unfortunately it was involved in an accident , radiator and fans got a little bent in and intake box got really messed up , but the car won't start it doesn't leak anything and when I go to turn it on you can hear a little clicking noise but other then that it won't start , dash lights and stereo work but that's about it , 2 spark plug wires got a little messed up . people tell me it can be a sensor or fuses ,anybody know what it can be?thanks !

Did the air bags deploy? If they did then the air bag module tells the ECU to disable the fuel pump. My understanding is that if you disconnect the air bag module and reset the codes in the ECU it should start. Otherwise you still have something torn up, and might want to get the codes read.

No sir airbags did not deploy , should I get a new ecu ? Or how do you reset the codes in the ecu ?

Re-reading your original post it sounds like you are not cranking, if the car has been sitting for a few weeks it is likely that the battery is low. If you jump it and it still will not start you will find it much easier to use a code reader and just have the ECU tell you what it doesn't like. I use VAG-COM. There are other, less expensive readers out there, although they don't tend to have all the VW specific stuff. Just do a search on it.
