hello evreyone , i was driving home from work, and my car died, gave the check engine light then turned off, i pulled over, tried to start the car and nothing just a ticking sound, and my ecp and check engine light were going on and of real yfast, i went to autozone to get an obd2, i pluged it in to my car but i kept getting a linking error, i couldant connect, so i called tripple a and had my car towed, audi tt 1.8 fwd, timing belt changed at 60k, the car now has 63k, need advice before taking it to the dealer, to spend so much labor money, thank you in advance.

 

are you getting spark?

 

if your not being able to connect the obd that usually indicates a bad ECU or bad ECU onnection, try to unplug and reconnect the ECU, i recently had a problem where one of my ground wires came loose on my SRS module giving me an airbag light. hopefully its just something like that and the ECU isnt fried.

 

were would that ecu be found? i have no idea, only for the fuses on the side panel by the drv side, many thanx. as far as spark, the engine whants to turn when try starting it up, you can here it but now start at all, and when i have just the igintion key turned on, there is a clicking sound by the engine bay. if any one has a diagram or a pic of were the ecu is located.
