starter? they burn out a lot, or the starter sub wiring loom that runs to the alt, it's right in the firing line for water and shit down at the front of the engine .

Worth checking the interior fuse board pcb too, common mk5/6 fault. Mine wouldn't start and the problem was the fuse board has popped. Unfortunately I discovered this after buying a new starter motor

Check you have power to the starter one is a permanent live the other is ignition live if there is no power then the 60 amp maxi fuse by the battery has probably blown caused by the loom chafing through on the slam panel (it is a common thing)
I hope this helps
