In very bad cases where your losing compression,because the fuel has washed away the oil on the cylinders, I would start with replacing the spark plugs and changing the oil. Pull the oil dipstick and smell it. If it smells like fuel then more then likely its been flooded. I have had Passat V6s that when you go to start them, It sounds like they have no compression,because they have been flooded out so bad. I have been lucky with a few, where if you crank the motor long enough and hold the gas pedal all the way to the floor they will start to sputter and eventually you get it running.
