    Unhappy Engine cutting out

    So my R36 was towed to the dealer today, the engine starts and then cuts out after about 2 seconds, done a VAGCOM myself and it threw a bunch of error codes regarding the linkage between systems and the ECM.

    The dealer had it today and was unable to diagnose the problem so I got a loan TDI Golf

    Wondering if anyone here has experienced the same or would have any idea of the issue?

    I am no specialist, but sounds like the immobiliser is kicking in, that is what it does if the immobiliser is active, it starts, then immediately stops.

    Good luck, hope they can fix it!

    It ended up being a leak in the inlet manifold.
