anyone about in sutton coldfield with vagcom ? key chip needs coding

[lord14]

the chip fell out of the key i re fitted it and the immobiliser wont go off , presume it needs coding again , or is there anyother way of resetting it

Got the same problem with my spare key. So when the missus uses the car i get stuck with the spare. Not good when you've de-locked the drivers door. Climbing throw the boot isn't fun with 3 headrests. Haven't made it to the ignition without the alarm going off yet!  Let me know if you find someone to do yours, will have to try and get my sorted also

mine wont start due to the immobiliser being on , so i think the ecu has forgotten the chip in the key

Depending on the year, it may need a new key. Newer cars are onece coded only.

Sounds like the chip is damaged. Mk4 chips are a sort of glass type and they are usually bonded in. May need a new key.

You cant code a key with vagcom unless you have an SKC

Sorry its an old thread but VW and Audi key, remote, and immobilizer FAQ and troubleshooting

VAG-COM won't programme keys without the SKC you need VAG TACHO or VAG Commander 1.4.
