Check all your fuses? Water in/on the ECU maybe? Sounds like a strange one tbh, maybe you'll need to get vagcom on the case.

just pulled out the ecu and it has water in it. will this mean i will need a new ecu or if i dry it out wll it be ok

Good luck!

i had the same problem with my old cupra , just pull it apart and get the hair dryer on it , worked fine for me

so if the ecu is filling up with water, how has anybody solved this from happening again?? it aint happened to me but i might aswell take precaution 'just incase'
