So for those reading at home.
I sent the dash, ecu and immobilizer to get checked and apparently the dash is ******** and cant be fixed. Ive asked for a written report so i know exactly whats wrong .Hopefully I get this next week.
In the mean time Ive been looking for options to fix this.
So...
Ok
So after triple checking I found you actually have to push the connector all the way into the ignition barrel(doh)
I now have continuity between the green and black wires at the green connector.
A clear and rescan shows no errors however It seems the scanner is only connecting to the brakes...
ok so here were are 3 months later I replaced the wires as per mph suggestion
was ok for a while now its just the immobilize light flashing all the time
OBDeleven data log

VIN:
Car: Audi A3
Year: 1996...2000
Body type: Hatchback...
So Ive got a4 b8 CDNC engine . The check engine light came on and a scan shows this error msg.
Trouble codes:
P218700 - System too lean at idle, Bank 1
static
Engine was recently out of the car for piston/rings replacement.
I made a smoke tester and cant see any leaks, (...
So Ive had an occasional immobilizer fail
( light flashes car starts but wont run)
I'm guessing its a problem with the rfid reader.
..Dodgy wiring?..
Its random ( about 6 months since it last failed)
So whats the best way to fix this?
