Hi all, 1995. Audi 80 Cabriolet. Just started having window problems, centre console switch only operates drivers side window up & down other 3 do not respond. All windows work fine with independent switchers on drivers door. Only drivers side window goes up and down on raising and lowering roof. I can hear relay pull in when I operate centre console switch and off course drivers window operates OK. It could be the control side of the relay is a small fuse for its own protection and the load side of the relay is much bigger fuse to facilitate motor load. This would explain why the relay pulls in but maybe motor load fuse has gone?? Any idea which fuse controls the window motors? Any ideas or experience much appreciated. Thanks Peter

I agree must have one fitted. Its a 20+ yr old car if we new what the problem was I would have a idea what its gonna cost. But as its a unknown problem how long will it take to remedy at £35 ph. cost me £400 in auto electricians up to press and still not sorted. Do I give up on it and buy another or persevere?? That is the question. Dilemma. Cheers Pete Hi again, we have sent the ECU off to have the immobiliser chip removed to see if that gets round the problem, no guarantees! I spoke to a local Audi mechanic he did not think the central locking pump was anything to do with the immobilizer having changed them in the past without any issues? He then telephoned a auto electrician friend who he thought would have more knowledge. The friend did say on the 1994 model they did incorporate the central locking with the immobilizer so that would explain the problem. Based on if that info is correct, when the keys where lost the original electrician probably undertook the bypass within the pump and all was OK. However when I have fitted the new pump it would not have the by pass fitted and looks like its re set the car, and now wanting the chipped keys to start it??? Will see how we go later this week (fingers crossed) Best wishes Peter

Hi again, I have never worked with immobilizers before so enlisted it to a local VW-Audi garage they had it a month and could not sort it out (think they gave up after first day claimed easier & quicker fitting brake shoes than sorting mine) a auto electrician has now got it (3 weeks) he struggling as well? Asked about the key reckons we cant get the code for it?? Now on about sending ECU to have immobilizer chip removed. Tried on Ebay to acquire ECU, Key lock and barrel, and Immobilizer box. Got a reply this morning they did not have a immobilizer fitted??? Help!!!!

Hi, Yes its a factory fitted immobiliser. The cent locking pump must be integral to the immobiliser system?

I recently bought a 1994 Cabriolet which has been running ok until I changed a non working central locking pump. Now it refuses to start and the immobilizer lights have started to work for the first time since I bought it. On speaking to previous owner he lost the main keys and had to get a auto electrician to by pass the immobilizer and supply a non chipped key. Looks like the replacement c/l pump has resurrected the system? My question does anyone know how to disconnect or bypass the immobilizer? Any help would be appreciated as car been stood now for 2 months and would be a shame to scrap it.

Hi, keep ending up with a flat battery after leaving on lights. Does the 80 TDI 1994 have a warning buzzer? if not any body ever fitted one? flyingpete212
