Is it a mk6 or mk7 ?
What year is it ?
Is it petrol or diesel ?
Does it have one battery or two, yes you said you replaced one but does it have a second beside it.
Is there fuel in it ?

thats was 18 months ago and drives extremely well no smoke and went through the mot on Thursday with no problems, on Friday it refused to start and when checked it has come up with the code 1608 nothing else just that code, is it a wiring issue or is the pump knackered again i have driven only 5000 miles since the pump was fitted and it is now just out of warranty.

The two batteries under the seat might be significant.
When you turn on the ignition do all the dash lights come on briefly?
Does anything funny happen to the lights when you engage the starter motor ?
If the van has bee standing for some time it is possible the fuel has drained back to the tank.
If this happens the computer that runs the engine will not attempt to start the engine until fuel pressure returns.
The check for this is with a diagnostics computer, but a good indicator is to remove the fuel filter and see if it is full of fuel. If it is not then fill it to the brim with fuel and refit. If the filter is more than a year old then fit a new one, again filling it the the brim with fuel first.

Was if the fuel filter ?
