Hi there,
I've a 2000 VW Golf TDI.
Of late I've had issues when I put the key in the "immobiliser activated" alarm comes on... but still allows me to crank the engine and it stays on. Then the yellow key and car flashes.
It still allows me to drive and doesn't stop the engine but the light continues to flash for the duration of the drive (is well annoying). The immobiliser activated beep and screen display thing only does this twice then stops, its just the yellow immobiliser light that remains.
I did try a blast of WD40 in the ignition which doesn't seem to have helped. What I do find is if I take the key out turn it round the other way and insert the key it starts fine without the immobiliser issues, but only sometimes. Its like it takes time to register the key being in the ignition.
I did recently have the batteries replaced in my key fob (separate issue I know but just to give all the info).
Any ideas?
