Still cant get this out of my mind. If the ignition module/POS is gone, would that keep it from running the fuel pump when i turn the key? Parts for these cars are scarce where i live and as Dave has pointed out the POS/coil kombo on these are only from ACE engine and C4 V8,s i can get hold of a second hand unit tomorrow, but it costs 40 euros and is a non return item if it doesent work. Any thoughts before i through money down the toilet?

Getting really pi553d off with this pipe of rubbish now. Tried two known to work coils and POS, no difference. Checked timing marks and when crank and cam wheel line up the 0 on the fly wheel is right at the bottom of the hole (which is near impossible to see) and as far as i understand that is correct. Cant find any markings on thi distributor, but it has not come loose so i wouldnt think it has moved. I can feel a little play in the dizzy shaft in and out, but not enough to get concerned. What am i missing? Why will it not spark or get fuel to the injectors? IF it would have a factory fitted immobilizer, i would think i should have a light in the cluster? When i lock it the Hazard button flashes... Thats all i know.Comment

Dizzy should look something like this

What is your key like, does it prise apart and has it got one of these little glass beads inside?

You can NOT assume that the distributor is lined up properly and NOT check it. You have to check it.
Is the Flywheel "0" like this?

Yes. Flywheel is like that. Key is just a simple key that does not prise apart. I have got one of those two, but it only contains a little lightbulb and a button for the light.Comment

So no factory immob.Comment

Thanks for that. I will go out in a bit and have yet another look in the bloody dizzy. A mate is coming over with vag com and the 2+2 cables. If that does not help i have got another ECU to try as a last resort. I have not checked what nr mine is yet, but the one i got from the breakers is from a 94 80 avant with ACE engine, and mine is the same but a competition. Just hoping this borrowed one doesent have Immo either. Anyone know what nr the Immo box has got?Comment

If the hazard flashes when you lock the drivers door with a key, I think it has a factory installed alarm system. Or had one, mine had an aftermarket alarm installed and maybe some parts of factory alarm system removed. I had to remove the bad aftermarket one and install a better one and that's when I found the factory system. The weird thing is that according the paperwork mine didn't have a factory alarm installed. It seemed to work about the same as the door key operated factory alarm in my 92 S2 coupe.
Immobilizers came with model year 1995, so competitions (MY 1994) don't have them.Last edited by JariP; 16 November 2015, 20:04.Comment

Checked faultcodes, got G40 hallsender.. But would i not get that anyway if the engine isn't running? Checked dizzy making with everything else lined up, couldnt see anything so pulled it off. Why am i the only person on the planet that does not have a marking on the hall sensor window plate?Comment

Sorry for bad pic, but there are not any marks on the side of the hall cover either.Comment

Replacement of the Hall Sender on a 7A, 3B, early AAN and some VW product distribut
Nope. It failed and left a code in the ECU. Now that it failed, it won't restart. You need a new distributor or the skills to follow/interpret this DIY for your ACE application:

I reckon he's right. Tthe one that always appears on the s2 with engine off is the engine speed sensor.
The mark on the hall window plate is usually about in line with the cutout for locating the rotor.Comment
