When the ignition is switched on the tempriture gauge goes straight into the red even when the engine is cold when the key is turned to start the engine cranks over but dose not start
Sounds like a bad temp. sensor, sender, or wiring.

If the EKA code contains a 0, then you have a problem that should never have got to you - the dealer should have spotted the duff EKA and changed it! I have no idea how you'd get it back from such a state, other than programming a new BCU to the engine ECU, and then new keyfobs to that BCU. This is assuming the 0 isn't just a mis-print or an 8 ? Best to get the dealer on this.
(In order to access security you have to insert the key and turn to position I and I don't think the system would let you in until it was disarmed)

Hi.
The problem can be the Bosh crankshaft position sensor. The problem is common with this vehicle, and does not turn on CEL. If you do a code scanning, you will probably find at most misfire and lean mixture codes.
Before replacing the crankshaft, check engine codes, replace air and fuel filter, test fuel pressure using a gauge tool in the port in fuel rail.
There are many forums where you can find users discussing about the same problem. Here one:
