Sorry should have mentioned its a 1.4 petrol. I have no dash lights at all. Nothing lights up on the instument panel.

Hi there I'm having trouble finding a fault on a polo 6N2. It basically has not dash lights but will crank and not start. I've managed to obtain some wiring diagrams and it seems the immobiliser runs through the clocks!!

Are you getting flow through the radiator? Could be something as simple as a air lock or a faulty thermostat!!!

Any help would be great thanks.
For some reason my post either don't make it on here or take days!!!!

If you've got a fix for it that would be great

Hi there I've plugged the car into VAGcom and it's as you said. Baisicly it's not picking up the engine ECU or the instrument panel. It's looking more likely the ECU live or earth feed. Just one thing would this cause the instrument panel not to work? Cheers

Hi thanks for your help.
I've been told today by someone who had the same fault that the instrument panel is faulty.
He said the immobilizer and fuel pump relay run through the instrument panel.
Dose anyone reckon there could be any truth in this? Apparently it's a fairly common fault!!!
