Hi

Have a problem with one of my flip keys in that it will unlock the car and lock again but will not start the engine.

Have run VAGCOM and have the following -

VAG-COM Version: Release 311.2-N


Chassis Type: 8D - Audi A4 B5
Scan: 01,02,03,08,15,17,25,35,45,55,56

Address 01 -------------------------------------------------------
Controller: 8D0 907 551 C
Component: 2.7l V6/5VT 0002
Coding: 05611
Shop #: WSC 06325
1 Fault Found:
17978 - Engine Start Blocked by Immobilizer
P1570 - 35-00 - -
Readiness: 0000 0000

Address 17 -------------------------------------------------------
Controller: 8D0 919 930 P

Coding: 05462

If anyone can help before I have to go to the stealers to have a key reset it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Edgy

as far as i know if it's an immobilizer problem then it's got to be reset at the dealers as you need a security code. you can do it with vag-com i believe but apparantly trying to obtain the code is akin to the search for Jimmy Hoffa

A quick update - have been to the stealers and they have quoted me £51.50 to recode the key. Does this sound about right ? Sounds blooming expensive to me......

To recode the transponder part of the key you will need the secret key code SKC.

AFAIK a 4 digit SKC was originally supplied with vehicles pre2002 as a scratch off panel. If youve got this 4 digit SKC then it can be done with Vag com http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/k ... digit.html

If you dont know this 4 digit SKC then youll have to ask the dealer to obtain the new 7 digit skc - there bound to charge for this as they have to access factory computer.
