98' passat sedan wont start

Sorry about that... it's a 98' volkswagen passat sedan, 1.8 turbo. When I turn the key... there's nothing. Just dead.

Ok, you should be able to reply to existing threads instead of posting new ones. :) You
need to get a test light? Are you wanting to diagnose the system on your own? You have either
a bad starter or ignition switch and I will walk you through the testing but you need a test light. Pretty
much any autoparts store will have one.
