Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The engine speed sensor code always comes up if you check the car without the engine running mate.well I have had a stalling prob on my car and it was the throttle position sensor mate however the problem before was when it wouldn't start at all and that was an immobilizer problem and it came up with the same code you have had - I had to have the ECU re-coded to remove the immobiliser Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 mine was the orginal VW immobiliser that had gone wrong mate - the aftermarket one wont show up on vag-com so if there is an issue it will be the VW one ! Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 the first couple of times it started ok but got worse until it would tick over but not fire up mate - it can sometimes be the igniton coil which reads the code from the key and sends a signal to the ECU - not too tricky to replace Link to post Share on other sites
dru 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 probally not relivent again but ive never noticed it before theres a constant buzzing/whinning noise coming from the egine when the ignition is on, from behind the coil pack ( silver cylinder shaped thing with a hose going in to the bottom of it and wires at the top) Link to post Share on other sites
