    Not sure if this helps at all. Jsut spoke to the guy who has done some work on my car and he said he noticed the wiring for the abs sensor on the driver front side had been repaired, the wiring had been patched up. Could this have shorted and blown something? Is there a fuse for the ABS ECU I should check. This shouldn't have stopped the Engine ECU from working though?

    What is being used to read the fault codes? Can the immobiliser and air bag ECU’s be communicated with?

    Good question, I'm not sure what computer they are using exactly... All I know is that its specific for German cars, and the only other one they tried was this 'Mac Tools' reader.

    I dont know how it works exactly, but from what they said, they couldnt communicate with anything?!

    For info... The airbag light self test comes up when starting the car and goes off as normal. Immobiliser seems to be okay also as the car starts okay the fob.

    If comms is possible with the immobiliser and the airbag, we can rule out a problem with the diagnostic socket. If there is no comms with anything, then I would start by working back from the diagnostic plug back to the data bus above the fuse box/steering column to check for connection probes, I have seen may unplugged. A few weeks ago I had one that turned out to be someone had been prodding the diagnostic connector pins with a probe and had opened them all up so they would not make contact. I have seen faulty ABS ECU’s block comms so the easiest test of that is to simply unplug the ABS ECU which takes seconds to do.
