We're having an immobiliser issue on our 98 T4 Caravelle. I've fixed lots on this van already and I would like to just disable the immobiliser instead of going down the route of replacing this that and the other spending hundreds of dollars on parts that aren't faulty like I did with the ignition issue...

Hi. We bought a 98 T4 Caravelle about a year ago. We've put it on club rego and are using it as a weekender van. Aux battery, fridge, RTT, solar panel, plenty of space for the bikes and dogs.
I've joined here as we're having an immobiliser issue. I've fixed lots of this can already and I would...

Hi all,

My daughter has just purchased a 2012 MK6 Golf 77TSI.
When it rains the car will not register either of her keys. Car starts after displaying "key not detected", runs for 5 seconds then cuts out. This only happens when it rains fairly heavily and for a day or two...

Hey all, I'm another one from the mk2/Air cooled side. Just picked up my first vw van. A 98 t4 single cab. It seems fairly solid but does have a few issues.

The major one atm is the immobiliser, I have a new ignition switch in the post, turns out the old one still works. Possibly need...

Hello, 2011 passat 1.8L TSI. Very frustrated...Car starts, runs well for two seconds then dies. This repeatedly happens. Backstory.....It had been sitting for maybe 6 weeks. It's been using a lot of oil so wanted to do a compression test.To do that I removed ignition and fuel pump fuses. Went to start...

So I was oveseas and car was parked for 1 yr with battery connected to slow drip charger. Returned, changed the oil, fuel and oil filter and cleaned up the fuel tank, the diesel in the tank was black, no big solid pieces of Algae or crud but will run a Moly's diesel flush again in a few weeks. Getting...

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...

I'd like to install a mk7 cluster in my 2009 Golf 6, It currently has a highline cluster installed.
There's plenty of mk6 -> mk5 retro content available online, but I'm struggling to find much by way of mk7 -> mk6

Has anyone had this done to their 6? Used clusters can be sourced...

My wife like the look of them and in theory it should be easy enough to swap over the internal electronics. I haven't actually looked at the immobiliser chip to see how hard that would be to swap over.

So, has anyone tried these things?

3 Button Key Fob Case Replacement...

A while back I snapped my key, specifically the big cast part directly under the pivot button. I bought a replacement key fob and grafted the cast part into the old housing (all internals as per original which was working). With it all put back together, I can unlock/lock the car, start the car, but...

Hi,

I tried following this guide but unfortunately it did not work for me. Maybe the china-made one I got is busted (cannot detect ECU). Anyone here in Sydney who has one and willing to do immobiliser service?

Regards

Hi guys,


So I've had this 1996 VW Mk3 Golf VR6 for a few weeks now. I recently drove it to Tafe on a Monday, it drove fine getting there, it also drove fine on our morning break but started misfiring on lunch break/not firing on all cylinders.


I managed to get...

ok I have finished of the engine conversion on the car and went to go and start it and the immobiliser has kicked in. when I swapped all the internals of the key over I kinda snapped the immobiliser chip half is their any way I can bypass this issue or is it going to have to go to a dealer?
