Hi everyone (newbee),
I have joined up as I am having a problem with the immobilizer on my 2000 Bora TDI 115 PD.
When key is inserted into ignition, the dash displays "Immobilers Activated" & the immobilers symbol flashes. Car will start & run for 1 sec.
I have checked all fuses & relays. Disconnected battery for 10 mins & reconnected with ignition on.
Still nothing.

Is a new key the only option?

Most of the time the problem is not in the key, the problem is somewhere else in the system. Did anything cause it to be activated? Here is a troubleshooting FAQ and more info on the system: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/immobilizer-VW-Audi-FAQ.htm
