I bought a used Brazilian made 1999 Gol (not a Golf). I live in Nicaragua - so good technical help is pretty scarce. The ignition broke with the key in it. The starter was grinding away so I disconnected the battery and popped the clutch. A local car electrician has been helping me. We replaced the ignition cylinder which of course came with new keys, but the car shuts off immediately after 1 - 2 seconds. It appears that there is an immobilizer. I was reading about the SKU code, but I can't find it. Is it possible to bypass the immobilizer? I'm really at a loss.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
