Think its located under the steering wheel; not 100% sure sadly

how will i know if its gone .......!!

do the glow plug light come on with the ignition? if not it might be relay 109, which is behind the removal panel to the right and down of the steering wheel
are there any unusual lights lit up on the cluster?
also is it a pd or non pd version?

Removing the battery with no residual power to keep immobiliser codes in system could mean that the ECU no longer recognises the Key.
That would require an auto-electrician with VAG-TACHO to come out and recode it :sad:
-
if the key has lost its coding, the immobiliser light will stay on and the display a message saying immob. active or something similar

Not the key. ECU as it was completely powerless. Not sure if ECU immo code is hard coded or not.

right, ok. open the bonnet, when you put tge ignition on can you hear a click coming from the fuel pump? if yes thats normal, its the fuel cut valve opening. if not theres a problem there.
take out the glow plugs and turn it over to see if it squirts diesel out the glow plug holes. if yes itll be something else.
your best to get it fault code read to see if theres anything electrical gone wild.
my 110 went nuts a few months ago, turns out the timing belt tensioner puked up and lost the tension on the fuel pump, so it was getting the fuel, just at the wrong time!
