Sounds silly, turned it off and then back on? Also do you have multiple menus?

Also, is it a genuine unit?

Could also possibly the Injector Loom, these tend to show wear when oil / engine is warm.

It starting and cutting out would suggest an immobiliser problem. Tried another key?

When you say coded in, you had the immobiliser coded too?

Sounds like the flashing to the ECU has either failed or the incorrect map was flashed onto the car. If it's fails to catch then it's the map that's the problem. If it starts and dies after 1-2 seconds it's the immobilser on the ECU that's the problem.

You are using an the incorrect VCDS interface for your car (assuming you have the car in your profile picture). You need to use the full / newer VCDS (non-VCDS-Lite version) which requires it's own genuine Ross-tech interface as found here - www.ross-tech.com. There are other alternatives, look at Carista for iPhone

Mine is doing the same with full car in 6th trying the accelerate up a hill. Dropped it to 4th and pulled like a train. I do find that 5th is more economical around 60mph if you have the longer ratio g'box.

Hi guys, Created a video that may help you, quick and simple way of securing boost leaks on the dreaded TDI fitted with the Lug Type Connectors.

Having looking at the PCB for the Fabia and Polo clocks, this guide would also work with the exception of removing the fuel gauge needle - you will need to rotate it anti-clockwise to get it off. I'll update the guide to include Fabia and Polo in due time.

I wrote this guide primarily for the Ibiza / Cordoba but can't see the Fabia or Polo being any different - someone willing to confirm? www.thebadgerbox.co.uk
