well im certain that module is the only ecu on the car!! i know the mk3 golf's suffer from that and the amplifier!! it sounds like you may have an immobiliser fault, cos theres not much to the ignition system if u have replaced all the vital components :rolleyes:

It sounds like it's the Hall sender switch,which is the plug by the dizzy cap unplug it and give it a good clean with a tooth brush as it does go green!! give it a go if that fails it could be the dizzy is dead..

Hope this helps.

check you get 12v to the black wires on the coil both with ignition on and while cranking. if that checks out have a good look at the hall sensor wiring and plug, can get damaged or full of oil which doesnt help it. clean the dizzy and look over the loom for any patches that look 'repaired' could have a break here.

oh and there should be an earth from the ignition module to the battery -ve, make sure thats not snapped off.

Might sound simple, but make sure it's dry give it a wipe and spray in some WD40?!
