its a 2.8 tipper. It almost starts so close but just wouldnt. When I turn the key to the ON position, car is not running, all the lights come on everything looks normal. The voltage is at 12 at this point. I try to start it and it cranks up and is so close, while trying to start the battery light flashes, when I go back to the ON position after trying to start it, only the battery light is on. Is this a dead battery? I tried jumping it from my S4 and it still wouldnt start but is even closer. If the volts are at 12 with the key in the ON position, car is not started, is the battery ok and its something else?

New battery this summer its a Die Hard International worked perfectly fine. The car sat for 2-3 days, it has been cold, below freezing at night, low 40s high, but the car is in the garage. Ideas, something else to try, dont have access to a vag right now. Thanks.

so you turn to the key to start
it cranks and fires but doesnt catch/spark?
and then the battery light starts flashing?

If it is chances are it's flooded. Pull and clean all the plugs, then try again.
If it's not then it's either your battery, your starter, your ignition switch or something else electrical

Yes, it almost starts.

Yes it cranks over, it almost starts, the battery light flashes while its cranking over and trying to start.

Yup, flooded, pull plugs, dry, reinstall

Reason why it would be flooded just sitting 2-3 days?

did you start it cold, move it 20 feet and shut it off when you parked it?

No drove it for about 25 minutes each way before that.
