Hey everyone, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience I can learn from: drove my 2005 1.9 TDi SE Touran for about 25 minutes a couple days ago, parked up and spent 5 minutes out of the car. Got back in, turned the key and none of the dash lights came on (by dash lights I mean the EML light, the glow plug light, ABS, seat belts, that sort of thing). I could start the car fine, but it promptly cut out after 2 seconds.


Got towed to a garage near my home where it was left for the mechanic to look at. He was very unhelpful, but appreciate he is currently rammed with all the lockdown MOTs that have built up. He's saying the problem is with the instrument cluster, and the car is basically a write-off. One suggested option is to send off the dash (by that I'm guessing he means just the instrument cluster?) to a company that fixes them. I'm prepared to take the dash apart and send it off, if we're looking at a cost of under £200. I've heard of other people with similar problems, for whom it turned out to be a faulty ignition switch. Could this be the problem?


I had a friend run his VCDS laptop on the car, and I have a file of the codes (below). One of the ones that stood out was something along the lines of "engine start is blocked by immobilizer". What's the logical place to start here? Am I looking at getting the cluster sent off?


Also, the wife is fixated on the key fob. "Just change the battery in the key!" "Why haven't you changed the battery in the key?!" so as an aside, if someone can reassure me it's not going to be that simple I'd appreciate it. I've tried both the main key and also the spare. Both activate the remote locking, both have the same effect in the ignition.
