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
