Vagcom wont connect to engine ecu but will connect to abs and airbag ecus..

Thanks for the pics, but ive checked evrything  only thing left is to unplug and bridge the grey and grey/white wires to check if it reads the ecu then, but i dont know if this is safe?

i bridged the connector and now it connects to my engine ecu, im guessing my immob box is at fault 

When i buy a new one do i need to get it with the key chip or can i code it usuing vagcom?

Thanks

you need to get an immob box with a matched chip, swap chip into your key, then match to your ecu with vag-com. if you get a box without a matched key only VW can add keys

Hi, not sure if you have sorted this. I found your thread when trying to sort mine. I first checked mine with a ECU kit I knew worked. Still couldnt get the ethos to connect to the ECU. So then hunted around the fuse box (should of done this first) and found a small grey wire broken. Connected it back together and sure enough it was fixed. The only reason anyone has been behind the fuse box was to fit a immobiliser thats when it must have got broken.

Yh my problem was the actual immobilizer box blocking access to my engine ecu, i got a new immob box and now it works fine.

Cheers
