Can anyone make sense of this? (with vag-com scans)

So I cleaned the alternator fuse/connection (the box is a bit melted where the blue tape is).
I also removed my clocks and turns out it has a different screen to the metal cage one in the guide but all the connections seemed alright there.
I checked my earth connection under the battery, that was fine, and I removed the  battery to reset ecu.

Nothing changed though i did notice that the fuel pump wasnt priming so i changed the fuel pump relay (and uprated to the 'c' one) and it is a bit better.

However I noticed a pattern, if i put my key in and turn it the clocks are dodgy still and the fuel pump doesn't prime, if i then turn it off and turn it back on without removing the key the clocks are fine, the fuel pump primes and the car will start. Though if i turn it off and remove the key before trying again then the clocks still mess up.... 

very confused now, any other ideas? I may just end up changing the clocks to rule them out!

i took the wifes car out last night and had noticed that the dash clocks flicker but (and i don't know why i didn't think before) the climatronic screen doesn't, this, in my case anyway, means it's solely a clock electrics issue not a battery/power issue, do you have climatronic? might be worth keeping an eye on it

I don't have climatronic unfortunately, i think it must be something in the immo system. It feels like the immobilizer either stops the fuel pump priming or stops the car turning at all. Other than changing the clocks I'm at a bit of a loose end, if the faults are indicating CAN-BUS faults could the clifford system be wired into that loom causing problems? I'm not too clued up on electrics if you havent guessed!

i'm crap with electrics too to be fair, if you think it might be the clifford then it's not too hard to uninstall it, just a nightmare to re fit

True, i wouldnt refit it though so thats alright.

The abs light and traction light are constantly on now, and there is an exclamation mark in a circle flashing red  so maybe something wrong in the brake system...

I may have to bite the bullet and take it to a garage, everytime I think of something it could be something else crops up    it could get expensive changing various components ruling stuff out!

brake pad wear sensors, check pad thickness, also brake fluid low? 2 things that are free to look at

[Gabriel2202]

cool, i think my fluid levels fine but pads may be a bit worse for wear! will have a check of them asap!
