My 3.6 auto will not turn over when I turn the key, nothing. The dash lights work, but the gear selector indicator shows all gears are engaged. Not the all grey, but all black instead. The day before, the car would start, but it was hunting for gears and then staying in 3rd or 4rth - but it wouldn't go back to 1st. Even after the engine was switched off. Any help is appreciated.
No start, won't turn over.

if the gear engaged is not the P or N, the engine will not start. it's a protection 
if you still have all gear engaged, you can unplug the gear box connector . it's below the steering wheel, behind the "storage space" (sorry forget the word)
but if you can, check the car with the 1551

Thank's I will try under the steering wheel. Car is in P. What is 1551?
sorry for the big pic, but the ECU is where i've tired off the part
the 1551 is the fault code checking machine that Vw and audi are using
i think now it's the 5051

Have now taken the V8 to an Audi Centre and they have had it 3 days and cannot start!! They cannot communicate with it. Fault diagnosis is no good, so what now?? Any help??
Car fixed. Plug had come out at the multi fuse box by drivers foot (RHD).
good news
happy to know a v8 on the road again
