Default what is the likely cause of this DTC?? 16839

It is a Evap Emis. control system: large leak.

Any idea on how to fix this problem?
By the way car won't start. Is this the likely cause of that?

Default Possibly.

I am fairly new to the audi emissions, but on my VW I had a crack in my charcoal canister which was venting some fumes, causing an EVAP code to be thrown...

could render your car immobile, check your emissions systems, (crack the spine on that bently!)
