Hi guys,
Its been a while since i was last on here,
However i now have an issue with my 2012 A3 sport back, a few weeks ago i noticed that the battery was starting to fail, the start up was sluggish and the start stop completely stopped working, so i replaced the battery which was 150 quid ish, problem solved,
then today i went to start and i have no dashboard, no lights nothing, the ignition is on and everything else works, engine will crank then cut out as the immobiliser kicks in and kills the engine,
Now i have seen a few posts about the battery tray rubbing the wiring away on the right hand side, something to with pin 30 the can bus power wire, just wondered if anyone else has any suggestions,
i do have a cheap code reader and it says communication lost with instrument panel,
thanks in advance for any suggestions,
pete
