VT wagon 5 speed manual
Okay i still haven't got the car running I've taken it to a shop & they tried to scan it even tried 3 different Scan device's but none of them connected with the car at all, I've got another BCM but i couldn't get the ECU to go with it
Talking to a guy to see if he can tech 2 it to link them together he said that i am wasting my time it won't be that but he doesn't know what it would be & can't look at it until middle of next week & probably needs it for 3 days at a $100 plus GST an hour wtf
Anyone got any ideas the battery is fine all fuses and relays cheeked good the car unlocks everything works except when u turn the key to start nothing just nothing at all

You didn't say whether or not your Check Powertrain light (MIL nee Engine Light) was on. Refer to the attached depending on whether the light is on or off.

Well i cheeked all fuses and relays cheeked took it into a performance shop they tried to scan it and can't connect to the car at all even tried 3 different Scan device's but none of them connected with the car either
I've bought another BCM today with key but they didn't have ECU computer to go with it
Mine is a lux 814 BCM & the one i got today is a lux 314 but i went to see an auto electric & asked if he could Link the 314 to my car he reckons waste of time
But the car has never missed a beat ever before & i was sitting in it idling when it just turned off & everything works dash lights everything just has nothing when u turn to start nothing doesn't do anything

Have you tried checking codes using the paper clip method?
Tried starting it with a different battery?

I'm with greenacc try a different battery first. Simple things, don't start swaptronics yet. How did you test the battery?

Have you checked the ignition switch, on the other end of the ignition.
