Battery fully juiced?  You've probably checked that already and I know it seems obvious, but when I did my ABS purge a while back, it depleted the battery just enough to give loads of warnings on the dash, car wouldn't turn, error codes via VCDS... quick charge and all was right with the world.

More than likely not this, but always worth trying the simple things.  Best of luck with it mate

Yea battery seems fine although the green indicator lamp on the battery isnt illuminated. The car turns over fine just wont fire up

This makes 2 of us.  Its happened to me, I jetted my car and it died when i got home.  Its the ECU, you must of got water in. 

When you turn your key, do you get the engine light on (I didnt).  Try borrowing another ECU and plug in and turn the key (you should get the engine light but wont start cos of the immo), this way you can make sure before sourcing a ECU.

No i got the traction control and tyre pressure warning light. Also the lights for dsg were all flashing. I had no readings on the temp gauge and my fans are running very fast.

All the lights come on apart from the engine light (not sure if thats the correct name), the orange/yellow one on the left if the dial.  Because if the ECU is dead it can't communicate with it therefore no indication.

When i try and scan with vag com it keeps trying to connect but drops out almost as soon as it manages to tries to talk to the ecu???

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone actually found a cure for this? I’ve got exactly the same issue that started a little while ago but haven’t had a chance to look at it till now. I’ve checked the fuse box for water. Replaced the relay on the ops under the steering wheel. I’m running into a bit of a dead end and wondered if anyone had any more info on this thread?
