Title: Immobiliser active
Post by: EsSeX dAn on 18 January 2009, 14:17
Hi all, im currently building a mk2 1.8t using the entire front end of the mk4 loom mated to the back of the mk2 loom.the looms are installed but i have removed the airbag main brain bit and now the immobiliser cuts in when i put the key in and turn it.it even comes up on the dash display bit 'immobiliser active' and there is a orange symbol on a car with a key underneath it flashes. anyone got any ideas?help appreciated.

lol my mate Dave has the same problem  :sad:

he has swapped

ECU
Clocks
Ignition switch

only thing left is the barrel itself but we can't remove it  :angry:  apparently there is an aerial clipped around the barrel but we can't remove it  :undecided:

yes mate i bought the whole car,came with keys clocks ecu engine loom.ive been on another forum and someone said to give the area around the ignition barrell a tap coz sometimes the thing plays up.i thought it could be something to do with the airbag module being removed but i dont know.ill just look for somethign ive not plugged in i reckon
