2004 Passat 5spd w 91k miles. I just did complete timing belt job 2500 miles ago. On thurs (3 days ago) I took the car to vw and had them swap another ecu in that I bought off of vortex that was flashed w apr software. I've driven 350 miles since then (I drive A LOT!).
Soooo, I'm cruising down the interstate tonight at 70 and the car just died. No warning, no flashing lights, no odd noises, just died. I had cruise control on and at first thought maybe I bumped brake pedal bc the car just started coasting. it turns over, but doesn't fire. I'm not sure if I have spark or fuel bc I'm typing this as I wait for AAA. I have my laptop, but I literally took my vagcom cable out of my car this morning!!!
So, what can I check w vagcom? Could this be an immobilizer issue w new computer? If so, why now - 3days and hundreds of miles later? And how would I know? There are No odd lights on the dash. I'm gonna pull timing cover as soon as I get home, but I don't hear anything when I turn it over. These have an issue w fuel pumps or relays? When it first died, when I tried to crank, it would catch for like a second, but after a few attempts of that now it is nothing. The weather is unusually cold for Florida - 38 right now, but not sure that could be a factor. Any help is greatly appreciated. I love VW, but it's becoming tough. Have a tdi jetta I'm rebuilding bc of a failed camshaft - I hate being on the side of the interstate......AGAIN!!! :mad:
