Default Engine Starts and Dies in 2 seconds.

Hi everyone.

Just started it today after a month of sitting in garage. Battery is fine, and it starts first turn and immediately shuts down. Any ideas?

Thx.

Need to download codes with a VAGCOM reader; otherwise you are guessing. But, it sounds like the ESS.

A repair company said that since the car is a 2001, and I have never changed the battery in the Key Fob, that it could be that. But, I tried other key as well as valet key and it did not work.

When I turn key and start it and it shuts off, it makes a low beeep sound. Also, when I turn key and don't turn on completely, the seat belt light flashes and the key flashes.

Any ideas?

Default Codes

So the immobilizer is not working, and I read somewhere that it is likely the gauge cluster - since it has not worked with my speedo and tach for 3 years. All of the lights on cluster work, except the tach and speedo needles.

Also, the valet key also will not start car, as it shuts off right away, and the yellow icon with the CAR and KEY appear.

Any ideas?
