Sounds like the immobiliser kicking in  :undecided:

You can re-match the ECU to the clocks via VAGCOM - not sure how you do it though

Was it ok after the remap initially or has it been like this since the first moment?

If its been like that since the remap take it back and tell them to fix it, they broke it.

Who remapped it?
