Car stalls after it starts

[darren foster]

Hi.
My audi A4 convertible 2008 2.0tdi s-line. Stalls after it starts.

When I open the car the heater back ground lights are on.
Which is odd.
I put the key in and turn it to on and next to no lights come on the dash. So no coil light or engine light's.
The starter turns over and the engine will start and seconds later it stops.

Any ideas?

Maybe your Immobilizer (antitheft) ?
Do you have a key with a padlock on dash display ?

No.
As I say only the ABS ,ESP and air bag lights come on.
All the test don't come on.

Maybe your instruments module (dashboard) is faulty. Or your ECU ?
Can you scan it with VAGcom ?

Done a scan and took a picture of the scan.

Attachments not showing up. Try uploading the image to a host and linking it.

One thought, maybe your battery or charging system is not working. The battery may have enough to crank but doesn't recover voltage sufficiently to maintain the ECU.

I have sent the speedo/clocks off to be repaired as the codes all point to the speedo being the folt hopefully I will get them back early next week. I will update on here as it may help others.
Ps I have no idea how to upload a picture to this app it says its uploading then it doesn't work.
Not to worry may I should just use the camera as that seams to work ok.

The clocks came back a couple of weeks ago and all is fixed.

To add the month before the car stopped working the key fob buttons became difficult to open and close the doors. No range and had to hold the button down for 5 or 10 seconds till thay worked.
After the clocks got a new ECU the key has gone back to normal and the doors open quick and from distance.
Maybe it was a warning sign about something going wrong.
