1st point of call mate check fuses,what is it your trying to do? you maybe better putting a post out for the attention of imagewerx on here,he is the Rossi(doctor) of the electrics bit

 

check fuse 10, should be 10 amp for petrol or 5 amp for diesel

 

Hi, as above i have no communication from my engine module, yet the engine does run and drive, i have logged onto my instrument cluster via VCDS and its showing (0) for ECU RESPONSE. Any one with idea what this could be or why? Thanks Joe.

Have you actually cleared the fault and it's coming back? Can you log on to the ECU itself with vagcom? I've seen that quite a lot on various cars, but has usually gone and stayed gone once it's been cleared.

If it does clear and doesn't come back and you can log on to the ECU, I wouldn't worry about it because the ECU is doing its job.

The COIL (Glow Plug Light) is flashing on the dash and gives the message "ENGINE WORKSHOP" hence the reason for trying to connect to ecu.

Can't clear the fault as i can't connect or log onto the ecu.

Nope can't log onto the ecu itself with vag com. And when using the measuring block on the instrument cluster its showin (0) for ecu response, so no ecu response is being picked up.

 

The ecu itself is obvious working as its running the car, but i think the problem may lie between the cluster getting info out of the engine ecu, like a can bus problem.

I have checked that there is power from pin 25 on the blue cluster plug and power from pin 37 on the ecu plug, there is power from both.

 

Just sorted a similar problem on a skoda octavia. At first the car would turn over but not start. I scanned for codes and could not scan the engine ecu but it would scan all the other.

I changed relay 109 and the engine started and all seemed well until I tried to scan again and it just would not connect. Turns out the owner was having problems with the dashboard and had removed one of the fuses. When the fuse was put back in the dash stopped working but I could scan all the modules.

The fuse was the main one for the dashboard FUSE NO 11.

Brake light switch mate i am about 99.9% confident

Would this stop the ecu from communicating aswel?

 

No but the light flashing will either be a brake light out or the brake light switch.

 

I dont know mate but the brake light switches on these often cause many of weird problems especially the engine workshop one,have you any brake lights have you noticed? on mine i didnt when it brought up that warning but others have had it when everything is still working and its that fault

The symptoms were the same m8, I would try this.

Might not be the same relay or fuse no, but a quick bit of research will tell you what ones.

This is for the not communicating to engine one anyway.

Have you fitted new clocks at all for the other one? If so, the coding may be wrong.

 

All sorted, took it to a auto elec, and after a few hours of different things he to the ecu to the bench and re-flashed the ecu. Still don't know what made it do this.
