Is you car remapped?

I had exactly the same problem with mine after remap, it was due to the ECU being opened and not sealed properly, hence filling with water.

Do you have VAGCOM?

Try a known good coil pack, see if you get a spark, but to be honest i have never known of 4 coil packs going at the same time, check all the fuses in the fuse box under the steering wheel.

Failing all that i reckon your ECU might have gone down,

Hope its not though.
