Common fault with water dammage to the engine ECU because the ECU is mounted in the fromt scuttle panell and the drain hose becomes blocked. This builds up water inside the scuttle and drown the motronic ECU. Causes misfire fault and cutting out after 30 seconds running time.

Engine fails to start or starts briefly then dies, this is a very common fault with the key code immobilizer system there are many causes of this, the most common is the key itself or the connection from the inductive sensor around the ignition barrel to the immobilizer ECU, the wring from the sensor to the ECU should be removed the connections need to be cleaned with suitable circuit cleaner then relocate the wiring loosely down the steering column so that it is not under any tension at all, then reconnect the multi plugs to the ECU and inductive sensor then harness into place with a cable tie. This is a very common problem it is a built in design floor with the VAG immobilizer systems.
Audi 80 2.0 / ABT 1993 (Mono Motronic)
Intermittent rough running, We have found that the brake servo hoses tend to split, they have a built on heat shield with a rubber hose inside, these perish and cause the engine to run rough intermittently. If this is the case the hose needs to be replaced.
