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

[Gabriel2202]

So my mk4 1.8t golf (aum) was running fine, its low mileage (81k), recently serviced, well maintained etc.

However its recently started to play up. It starts intermittently, sometimetimes the clocks dont light up at all, sometimes they do and it wont turn over, sometimes it turns over and wont start.... I'd say it starts 1 in 4 times and then it runs fine. But its getting worse 

I have scanned it and it came up with a lengthy list, I forgot to clear them and when i scanned them again (minutes later) it came up with a few more!

Within that time i had started the car and the clocks displayed ''oil sensor workshop!''.

The scan came up with a variety of codes so am a bit confused as to what it could be? clocks? ecu?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Cheers

if you go here
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Fault_Codes
find the number you want to know about and it gives you the same as what the laptop reads as well as easy to understand terms, and possible ways to fix the issue

Thaks for that 

I have a feeling i may need new clocks as they were playing up a few weeks back... it definately seems to be an electrical fault, most of the codes point to 'CAN-Databus Wiring/Connectors from/to Engine Control Module'

How old is your battery?

How old is your battery?

a few months, it kept dying last winter so i bought a new battery but maybe it wasnt the battery. Although even after a long drive it does the same thing. the reason i think it may be my clocks is because the display was flickering whilst driving a while back...

sounds like the ecu has died tbh mate

Thanks for your reply, though I was worried someone would say that... Is there anyway to test for sure?

[miggs2002]

there are a few codes there that all have the ECU in common, i think it may well be an ECU issue too, not sure if you can get a new ECU coded into the current immo setup or maybe just have the immo removed from it all together, it is making me wanna scan the wifes car now though as her clocks started flickering a couple of weeks back

[sam1990]

im not sure on weather there is a check for the fault of the ecu but the fact that its throwing out loads of codes usually indicates its died, like miggs2002 said you can have an ecu coded into the immobilizer or you can but a second hand ecu, transponder and chip
