Problem with key or starter?

[dan2485]

You have 3 wires, 2 of them are crimped together look at your picture.



From your video is shows that the ignition side is good, you need to check the battery boost terminals for power and for heat as if hot then this will cause a high resistance and stop the current flowing.

Battery wires not hot not in engine compartment and boot .not melted and looks clean and no any signs of corrosion

[dan2485]

Can you get a VCDS scan done?

There is nothing on the scan that will prevent the starting of the car. Have you checked at the starter motor to see if you are getting power to the solenoid when the key is turned over?

Is there a 12 v feed to the motor on the main power lead?
Is the engine ground lead good?

The ABS faults are standard when the battery has been replaced and will clear when the car is started and driven.

The J359 fault relates to a the auxillary heater that your car has fitted, this could just be a 40A fuse blown (this located under the J519 Module).

Another question that needs to be asked can you turn the engine over by hand to rule out a siezed engine?

[dan2485]

found this video which may help you.

I hope that you are well and safe, did you get your issue sorted?

Hello everyone,
my A6 C6 avant 2.0 tdi is "dead". Insert key and nothing happens. The main problem is that my garage is too narrow for a tow truck to come in and with the car dead is close to impossible to push it out. So I'm stuck, literally... like the car
Tried jumper cables with other car, nothing changed.
Removed the battery, took it to the shop. They tested, charged it overnight and said it was good to go.
Next day, mounted the battery in the car nothing changed, except the installed component not valid warning when I turn the mmi on... I'm 99% sure it wasn't there before I removed/installed the battery.
I went and purchased a vagcom, I've never used one befora.
At first the car wasn't communicating, I tried the brake+hazards+high beams and it started the scan.
1st scan fault codes almos everywhere.
After clearing all the fault codes at once... and then clearing one by one, on the ones that I could access, this is what the car is left with:
