BYPASSING THE FACTORY ALARM
« on: 09 May 2012, 19:37 »
I am having trouble starting my 1.4 N reg golf, not sure if the factory alarm/immobiliser is the cause, can the alarm be bypassed ?
Thanks

Will not start cold, will start when weather is warm, when the car has stood in the sun for a while it will start.
Things that have been changed up to now, new dizzy cap, new ignition leads, new rotor arm, new fuel filter, new coolant sensor,tried a different dizzy, still made no difference, checked pcv pipes, all clean as a whistle, throttle body clean no gunge inside, a common problem apparently. It makes me think that it is an electrical problem, a cold connection/broken wire somewhere, or the alarm playing up hence wanting to bypass it in the elimination process.

Mine is not on coil pack as it is only a 1.4 inj, running a dizzy and a coil ?
