I have hooked vagcom up and tried the engine but it says too many connection errors
Would removing the baffle inside the box make a difference

Re: Fuse 5 keeps blowing - advise new air con pump needed?
I had similar problem
And it turned to be a wire rubbing on the ac pulley
I must have knocked loose when fitting a dump valve
Have a look around the pump to see if that's your problem
Other wise get the pump disconected and try again
Also ac fan on rad could be seized
