As mentioned above best route to take is to VAGCOM the car and see what the issues are and go from there.
You don't have to use VAG-COM if you don't have access to it,any garage with OBD diagnostic equipment will do just fine and will hopefully give you a fault code that should save you hours of messing around.

Ask about for someone with vagcom in your area too!!
hello again do i ask here if anyone has VAGCOM in Luton or near at all can even take car there ?
Thanks David
Thanks David
As I said above [brick] if this is urgent (and it sounds like it is) go to ANY local garage or mechanic who will have some sort of OBD scan tool.They won't charge much to do it and you won't be hanging around for ages waiting for an answer on an internet message board.
