Well Sir I tried to post to the forum as you requested. I just couldn't find the active link or...to do it. I appologize I guess after a day of running my repair buis. I am just a bit cross-eyed. I might try again tomorrow. Thanks.

You registered today for the first time, how could I have banned you before? My previous comment was directed at someone else. Seatman included the link, just read the links to the FAQ articles, most of these are common questions that have already been answered.

Hi! Friend of mine has a 2001 Golf. Previosly he had a problem with driver side door - it always had a light on the dash saying that it is open. He went to a garage and they disabled something and the light came off. Then a week ago the battery went flat. we recharge it but now immobilazer is not accepting a two originaly fited keys. I have the key reprograming equpment SBB which you connect to OBDII connection and than you programming ECU to accept keys. But it is asking for a pin. That car he had bought 2 years ago and he never knew the code. Is it possible to find the code or bypass it. Could you help me please.

First the light on dash saying the door is open is probably a faulty door module. It's very common. A microswitch inside the door module goes bad. Either that or the wire harness is cracked in the door hinge area.

The SKC code should be on the black key tag. If he doesn't have it, take a look at the immobilizer FAQ on how to get it.

Thank you. I may not smart enough but it does not saying how to bypass it and how to get the pin code. It is reffer to FAQ 4.15 but I could not find that charter.
