2006 A5 Jetta TDI 1.9L BRM
Hello all! My 2006 Jetta TDI shut off on me multiple times while driving. Had to get it towed back to my house. The engine cuts off and also the instrument cluster goes dead with the exception of the screen where the time and mileage are displayed. The first time I had the AC on and the AC blower continued running. After a few minutes when I move the key to the on position the instrument cluster lights come on and I am able to start the car again, but then dies after a few minutes.. The charging system is working fine. I replaced the battery as it turned out to have a defective cell, but still the problem persists. I have been unable to find a problem with any of the battery terminals, grounds, loose wires, loose connectors etc. I did find a blown fuse in position SC25 - Vehicle electrical system control module (J519). I replaced it but still problem persisted. I have run many VCDS scans. After a week of trying to find a cause or loose wire etc. the car runs fine today. I am stumped! Below I will post the last problematic scan and then the scan after the car started working and I cleared all codes. Could this be related to the ignition lock cylinder? Any and all help appreciated greatly!

After car started running successfully again today, I cleared out codes also changed adaptation settings to clear power steering control module fault that I had for a long time. This is the current VCDS scan.

I would check for wire harness chafe. BobS has an excellent thread about it, search for it hopefully it will help you out.

It's got to be that relay 430. I was taking a look at those yesterday and the one on the left side of the J519 controller felt pretty hot. I'll get one on order. Does anyone know what the other similar relay on the right side of the controller powers? Wondering if I should change both just to be safe? Thanks so much for the replies gentlemen!

I believe Henrick says it powers the windshield washers or something. Since they are so cheap it doesn't hurt to order but my mechanic and others just interchanged the relay 460 to find out if it is actually the problem. If the car powers up then problem solved. It is almost as if VW designed in the double check relay.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing. The 460 relay is the J329 according to the Bently wiring diagram for A5( forgot what is build date and after). The relays are located under the left dash fuse block. There are two 460 relays, one powers the ECM and all engine functions monitored and controlled by the ecm including the ignition key. Read all links in my thread about the problem above.
