Hows the battery?

Heard about this before, apparently it's common enough but seems to be more so on Seats, I read a good thread on it SeatCupra before but can't find it now.

How about this for the moment:

The battery is fine. The pics in the vwvortex post are near enough a carbon copy of the distribution box on Andrews car. When the shinged box was present vcds would not connect to the car and there was no fuel being pumped. When we made a connection with the old box we could connect with vcds and fuel began to pump. We have since changed the distribution box for a good part but this has not helped the issue i.e the car still wont start.

There is fuel and there is a spark. Im thinking a crank or cam sensor or immobiliser ??

Geo is your man if you cant fix it yourself!

He knows these engines inside out. He did a load of work on my 20v which is a AGU from a A3

 

If it was crank sensor then you wouldn't be getting fuel and you would have an error code.

Cam sensor should also throw an error code.

Is the immobiliser light flashing when you are trying to start the car? The immobiliser could have lost its settings due to the power interrupt caused by the fuses blowing.

Try this out anyway since you have VAG-com, go into immobilizer (25), select (10) adaptions, then type in 00 to reset factory settings. Turn ignition off for about 3 seconds, turn ignition back on immobilizer light should go out.

Let us know how you get on.

 

The immobiliser light is not flashing when the car is being started. When the ignition light are on the immobiliser light goes out as normal.

I'll do the reset on it this evening and see if that sorts it.

Ok well that probably won't work then if the immo light isn't flashing.

Check in measuring blocks for stuff like air mass, an engine rpm signal and injector pulse time when you are cranking the engine over. If you have all that then I'd start looking at fuel pressure next.

 

VAGCOM wouldn't communicate with the car at all last night. Goes from bad to worse.

It was late when i got home, but it just didn't communicate at all. The light on the VAGCOM cable turned green when plugged in.

 

Andy get on to joe power.we just had a problem like this on a VR6,it was the immobilizer,it sounds like ur ecu could have cooked its self..........give joe PM.

 

Yeah I was going to suggest that as well, get Joe to have a look at it.

Can you communicate with any of the modules in the car? Or are they all down?

 

They are all down.
