Passatt CC keeps on cutting out

    Hi,

    I have a 2011 Passat CC 2.0 About 3-4 weeks ago the car would not start (would not even attempt to start). RAC was not able to speak to the ECU and the car was towed to a garage. The Garage could not speak to the ECU and ran some test to see if there was signal to the ECU which they was. they disconnect the ABS and retested the ECU, The ECU was still not talking. They checked the cables to to the ECU and said the ECU was at the fault. The ECU got sent away and the company changed all the parts they needed to on the ECU and sent the ECU back. When the repaired ECU was plugged in the car started but keeps on cutting off. the garage checked and cleaned the connectors going in to the multiplug going into the ECU to see if this was causing the issue which it didn't. They now have replaced the multiplug and this still has not resolved the issue. Garage advised me when the wiring loom is moved a bit of a distance from the ECU the car runs and doesn't cut out. but when the cable is moved just by the multiplug going in to the ECU the car cuts out. The garage has advised they don't know where to go now as where everything was pointing to has been checked, cleaned/repaired or replaced.

    Any Help or advised would be greatly appreciated

    Kind Regards

    Looks as though the next step would be to send the ECU to repair company to give it a check over.

    Has anyone checked that the Earth is sound on the engine, bodywork and battery. Also check the batttery is servicable and fully charged.
