Help needed! Went to start the car after finishing work on Thursday night, unlocked using the remote, worked fine, put the key in the ignition waited for the glow plug light to extinguish then turned it over, it started but then immediately died! Noticed the immobiliser light was flashing! Great! I'll give it a second and try again, nope no joy, it just did not want to start even after locking and unlocking the car, so ten minutes later I left it and got a lift home.
Returned to it the next day. No it wasn't recognising the remote fob to unlock or lock so had to open via the key in the door, put the key in the ignition and I was greeted with the alarm going off and hazards flashing. Tried to start the car and nothing just the immobiliser light yet again.
I thought maybe it's the battery in the key fob (as it's no longer unlocking the doors etc) so I changed that and returned to the car, nope nothing, tried to re-sync it but that didn't work.
My cars a 2003 a4 1.9tdi quattro and I only have the one key for the vehicle. This immobiliser light has never came on before in the 7 years I've owned it.
Can anyone help me.... Please!
