96 SEAT Cordoba...LOST KEY!

[Rouge96Cordoba]

Hey all,

Just wanted to ask if anyone could help with getting my car started...
I bought it at auction as an abandoned car, cheap, and it came with no keys.

I got keys cut to open the doors, but, to start the car i need an immobiliser activator in the key chip. I have NO idea how to do this as i took the car to a VW dealer and they said they could NOT get the code from the immobiliser to program the key chip!

Is there anyway i can do this? or a way to somehow bypass the immobiliser?

There are no SEAT dealers in Australia, and it makes things VERY tough... especially since i cant speak Spanish!

Hope you can help me out. Would be VERY much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I cant help with coding that key, BUT I can send you a coded ecu, ignition barell and switch, immobilizer and doorlocks.
If you put all of that in, the car will start.
I`d want $300 for the full kit.

thinkin a good vw dealer will take the vin nr (maybe on old rego sticker)
or some paperwork ie owners manual ??? doubt

but they could find the code and prob sell u 2 keys for same as Loon but less work!!

Keys are easy starting is problemo.

I have a 95 you could have the 2 keys and locks but no remote locking ie
no immobiliser and u would have to cut some of ure wires off the ecu..???

check all ure options

Cheers mate. Just called up VW head office in Sydney, they were suprised to hear about a SEAT, but, was then referred to 2 possible service centres in Victoria - where i am. The first one ended up being a Greek cafe... the second one - in Geelong - was bought out by Subaru, and the guys wanted nothing to do with or hear about SEAT cars. Even though they still service VW's, and i TOLD them the Cordoba had a Polo engine...

Loon - if i purchase this package from you, does it come with keys? or do i have to purchase new keys and then programme them to the new immobiliser? Which im presuming will have a key encoding number provided?

Thanks all for being an awesome help.

Loon - Can or do you import new original SEAT car keys - with central locking/Immobiliser chip inside etc? that would suit my 96 Cordoba?

IT NEEDS TO BE CODED BY A SEAT DEALER. There are none in Australia.
The easiest solution is that I have already suggested to you.
