Hello Touareg Community! I am upset that this is my first post on the forms, regarding my 2014 Tunezilla/Malone Stage 1 tuned TDI Treg. But just this past evening I was trying to reflash my tunezilla tune. At the beginning of the process Tunezilla immediately errored and failed to flash. After this incident my car will no longer start. The regular display, odometer, and rpm come on, but also now my glow plug, engine light, and ESC are stuck on. I only get the lights, and the car makes no attempt to turn over.

So I don't know if this was my fault or not, the engine light was on with two codes prior to me attempting to reflash. (todo with the differential pressure sensor (which was replaced to fix the fault but after a week it came back), and something else todo with the regeneration frequency failing). My DFP filter was replaced back in December under warranty which is now over.

I use an OBD eleven with the included pro subscription, giving me lots of access to the car from my iPhone. And when I did a scan there were a ton of faults due to lost communication. Attached is my logs before and after my reflash attempt.

Oh also whenever I attempt to turn on the car, the radiator fan goes wild, almost max power or smoothing?

I would love my car to be able to drive again sometime soon. But I am also worried my battery is low, because last I check it was less than 12v.

Thank you in advance to this community. Note I have been reading these forms since I got this car back in October! I plan on doing a trans flush, DPF delete, and much more with all the amazing knowledge documented here.

EDIT: UPDATE:
The Car Works Again!!
First off my tune kept failing most likely because I was emulating a USB to windows using a MacBook Pro!! Note make sure they use a windows laptop when tuning... Also the battery being low did not help my situation as after the tune I had to jump my car.

I do recall then saying the fan will be running, so you should have the vehicle on a charger...
Sounds like it's stuck in a odd state though-- I might try throwing a fresh battery in the car and reset.

Essentially, turn it off and back on again in a more serious way!
