Hi Guys,
Problems started when I had intake flap off to clean out heavy deposits of gunk,
Refitted and started for a few weeks then it started to crank twice start and die after a second or 3, scanned with VCDS and came up intake short/ open circuit, so I replaced with used part off eBay and problem went away for a few weeks.
The engine doesn't shudder when turned off as much as it does with intake flap plug disconnected.
I've had the ECU connector off and the wiring loom seems ok from what I've probed, no breaks to intake flap pin 3+4 which are purple/grey purple/ yellow cables or shorts from these to other cables.
Did notice battery voltage (13v) from pins 1+2 and what seems like regulated 12v (12.6v)on pins 3+4
Every time I plug in VCDS the car starts ok for reasons unknown.
Taking the flap apart the motor spins when 12v applied and gear teeth are intact, i guess its the microcontroller in the cover or hall effect sensor that has went bad but even though it was spotless inside cover and usual culprit is oil ingress on these parts.
I do get these fault codes:

Checked grounds from battery -ve to strut and behind LHS headlight, were a bit corroded but shiny now.
New battery fitted and when cranking its turning over nice and fast.
Sometimes glow plug light will flash when cranking.
I can hear lift pump from tank prime when turning key to on position.
When the car is running I've gave the loom a tug here and there and no issues.
I've ordered a new cam and crank sensor even though when graphing their data through VCDS advanced measurements (See attached) the cam speed has some dead spots when blipping the accelerator.
The problem then would be it would start and die 3-5 times then start and run fine, idles fine, no smoke, seems it has as much of it's original 105hp as is expected.
Now its at the point to get it started cold I need to disconnect the battery negative wait and reconnect otherwise it will just crank/ crank 3 times fire up and die after 2 seconds.
Then once engine is up to temp and trying to start it will just crank until I press in the accelerator pedal then it starts.
Tried disconnecting the intake flap when cold and car will run and cut out after I try and take off.
Engine is a 1.9TDI BXE on the timing belt cover but BKC when looking at engine label in VCDS.
Issue is car is only worth £1000 on we buy any car and second hand car market is still nuts with 2011 1.9 golfs looking 4-5K....
Also ordered a K-line commander to get SKC to see if disabling the immobiliser helps. Although it sees all 3 keys when looking at VCDS and will identify when in ignition.
