Here's anoter wierd update. Drove the car 50 miles today no problem atall. When done I did a vagcom scan again, this time with the engine off and the ecu was connecting fine. It would seem when the engine is running I cannot connect to the ecu via vagcom, as soon as engine is off vagcom works again

Still not had the light flash or the judder again but still can't connect to ecu, apparently the code I have from vagcom is showing that there is a fault somwhere that is blocking the ecu. No more info can be pulled!

Ok all of these problems where caused by a loose earth strap on the ecu.

Unbelievable that it would let the car seemingly run fine but then cause l these little problems but tightened the strap and it's all gravy!
