it was BMW's that were getting keys cloned within seconds by plugging a tool into the diagnostic socket. They have push button start so no need for an ignition key blade. To drive off a car that has a physical ignition barrel your either going to have a blade cut for the ignition or be able to...

The SKC came on a plastic tag along with key code from factory. Most have been lost or thrown away. There's plenty of people that do keys cheaper than Audi & they will come to you. Won't matter to them if you don't have the SKC because they'll have equipment to read it from clocks or ECU

you need something like Vag Tacho, Vag Commander etc. 110% DO NOT go to Audi for a key. It's going to be £180 minimum for an 8L key

you can't code any keys to the immo if you haven't got the SKC(pin code0 & VCDS doesn't read pin codes. You need other equipment for that

Hazard button/relay is a common TT fault. I've done a few & it's a simple enough job

if it's intermittent it could be low voltage to the key reader around the barrel or the immo transponder chip in the key is damaged

here you go, this is the most popular type

no worries. I've seen too many people with newer models such as the B7 that use the precode system trying to code new keys just with VCDS & after several failed attempts have ended up causing all sorts of fault codes which has ended up in their original key not working neither so the car won't run

don't just start buying things because someone says that's what cured there's. There's a few different reasons that you're having this problem. Such as the transponder chip in the key could be damaged which in my experience is the most common fault, which I can say with keys i'll have a lot more...

is is the correct part number remote? because not just any old fib will do that looks the same. You need an 8P0 remote

if you have a B6 you can code a new key yourself with VCDS if you have the pin code. It's totally different though with the B7. Immo transponder chips for newer VAG such as B7 A4, 8P A3 etc use a different system where the transponder needs to be precoded with data specific to each individual...

unfortunately my Mrs will be enjoying it more than me as it's going to be her daily when i'm out in my van. It does have the odd mark here & there but nothing major. Still think it was a bargain. The only 1 in the same spec & year I found was £1000 more & that said "mileage discrepancy" in the...

Thanks for the feedback guys but I........erm........ bought a BMW! Spotted a 2007 330d Touring at a very good price. Mikes are higher than I wanted but compared to similar cars with nearly same mileage & spec it cheap so had to ho have a look! I did a full diagnostic as I have BMW software & it...

without testing the key you can't guarantee it just needs programming. The transponder chip in the key may have been damaged so no matter how many times someone tries to code it to the car it isn't going to work

that's purely for the remote locking & will not program a key to the immob!
