The AEB and AJL engines are identical in their base unit form, so identical that if you were to buy a new unit from VAG, they are the exact same part number, so that will not be an issue.

Have you at any point cranked the engine over with the coils off the plugs but still plugged into the harness?

So just to be clear, you removed the coils from the plugs but left them connected to the harness plugs whilst you cranked it over?

OK, so that theory out of the window although I have a suspicion that doing that may upset the ignition amplifier, I always unplug the amp.

I think you have a dead ignition amp, what is your email? Check fuse 32.
