Removed the clocks from the dash today and it seems i have upset the immobiliser, The ignition works and the car starts but dies again after a second and the immobiliser light flashes.
I know the immobiliser is in the clocks but thought this was only a problem if the dash was changed for another.

Is there any way i can recode this without VAG Com or a trip to the dealers as the cars stuck at my dads and i really need it tomorrow.

Cheers

Presuming you disconnected the battery - I read in the manual if you disconnect the battery you need to leave the key in ignition position 1 for 5 seconds before attempting to start the car for the first time after reconnecting.

Hope this could be your problem.

Cheers Graham, the cars always started fine after I've had the battery disconnected in the past, pretty sure its the immobiliser.

The cars a 99 pre face lift if thats any help.
