On one of my key fobs, the lock/unlock works, key works in the ignition, but I get a warning and the engine shuts down after about 10 sec. I assume the immobiliser has gone out of spec or something. This all happened when I snapped the blade holder on a doorframe and tried replacing the fob with a cheap replacement fob. I ended up using everything from the original fob except the die cast blade holder and no dice. I Can anyone offer any suggestions on what the issue is?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,
