So are you saying that the fault codes stored in the ECU are non-persistent and that the VX dealer couldn't see anything with the Tech2 'cos they were erased - either when the engine started ok for him, or even before that when the ignition was turned off by me?
The codes are stored for a set time (varies depending on code). Your assumption that the dealer knows how to use a Tech2 may be a bit ambitious ;)

Mike - hopefully, now that you have found this place, the excess expense will be reduced somewhat by expert diagnosis as well as persons willing to exchange repair work for beer, as and when required!
Hmmm .. one crank sensor fitting = how many beers I wonder?  ;)

Have you done the paperclip test yet?

Hatfield is a little far for me I'm afraid, but you will have no trouble replacing crank sensor if thats the problem :)
