Brad-B5 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi all Right my key its self is fine but its broken off my key fob, I've been using like this since Saturday but today I struggled to start the car as the immobilizer kicked in, would it defo be the key causing it? It turned on then shut off (immobilizer) then again then worked again. Hoping it's the key causing it and not another issue :( Many thanks Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's the key causing it to not start properly to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPAWS Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 not 100% sure but if car thought something was wrong with the key it would not start at all, is this a one off and does it start ok now, what are you using to start the car a pair of pillars holding the key or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-B5 Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi Guys Well, The car started fine the third time round, car runs fine, I've been using apart of the keyfob that holds the key to start it, seems abit damaged now really, need a new keyfob but it's so much money!, I noticed that It had over boosted once a couple of days ago and that its really, I need a new gearbox anyway, not sure, would need a diag otherwise, I will find out how it goes when I finish work :s Thanks Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-B5 Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm hoping it's not the fuel pump or something else :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 You can buy key housing only and swap the key and electronics inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The key fob will need to be on the end of the key for the immobiliser chip to be read by the aerial / immobiliser ring mounted on the ignition barrel, if not it won't be able to read the chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
