I've just bought a TT with some electrical issues. I'd be grateful for any advice which could help me narrow it down to which modules/wiring are causing issues.

The car has the following problems:

  • It was sold to me running fine until a hot start, then it wouldn't start until it had cooled down (no orange lights, engine turns over fine, just doesn't fire). Now it's hard to start, only runs for a little while and the EPC light is on.
  • I ran a diagnostic this morning (first scan) and engine temperature/RPM readings looked fine. I cleared error codes. Then a while later the engine died at around 90degC. Would not re-start.
  • Re-scanning, the Engine module had disappeared (see second scan).
  • Keyfobs don't work, Lock button in car works, unlock doesn't. This morning after pressing the lock button, the EPC light started flashing and there were clicks from under the dashboard in time with the flashing. This seems to tie in with the time the car started to lose the Engine module.
  • Fuel flap and boot work fine, windows don't drop on opening doors. Roof doesn't work, air break doesn't work but clicks once in one direction.
  • Rear window fell in a few weeks ago in hot weather. I guess it's possible the CCM got wet?
  • Clicking from diff with ignition on (this ties in with the Haldex data bus issue).
  • Stability light comes on intermittently while driving.

I think that's everything!

Any pointers very gratefully received.

Start with the N80 outputs performed with VCDS replacement and checking wiring using WD via RTFB, no?

It was sold to me running fine until a hot start, then it wouldn't start until it had cooled down (no orange lights, engine turns over fine, just doesn't fire). Now it's hard to start, only runs for a little while and the EPC light is on.
Sounds like vapor lock?

But in your second scan, the ECU isn't responding....

If the N80 is stuck open it will cause air leaks and in some cases suck raw fuel during residual vacuum causing a flooded sump or cylinder condition, no?
EPC light could be for many reasons?

Have you tried crimp tests for EVAP & LDP and verified all intake zones in addition to FP relay and output of FP + FPR function.

Have you unplugged OXS sensors and verified wiring to isolate shorts with load light?

Verify MAF

OK, so I finally got back onto this today. Turns out that the N80 had been disconnected for some reason. I've reconnected it and am not getting that error now. There was no earth strap on the rear diff (and no sign of one ever being there) so I've attached one. I ran the car up to temperature and everything seemed to be going well. I stopped it a couple of times and re-started it successfully. Then I tried operating the hood switch (ignition on, engine not running). There was a rapid clicking noise from under the dash in time with the EPC light flashing, and after that the car wouldn't start. I did a scan and the engine module was only intermittently visible. Also the Haldex Powertrain Data Bus error which had cleared, reappeared.

I left the car about 20 minutes, then it restarted fine. I haven't conclusively worked out a pattern yet, but at some point, generally when it's up to temperature, something is failing and causing the car not to start.
