Hi, I’ve just purchased a second key fob for my S3 as I’ve only ever had one key for the car. The fob won’t unlock and when I try to start the car with new key the engine cuts outs and goes into safe mode. I’m assuming that the immobiliser is kicking in. Can I program the new key to work fully...

Audi VW.

Cheers for that. As a quick put me on is this ok to use until I get some more?

Morning. What decent engine oil are people putting in their S3’s?

Cheers for that, I can’t clear it because before it fully completes searching for faults I get a comms error saying no response from controller

Change byte 18 from 2b to 2c and rear lights have come on with DRL’s :icon thumright: Just to clarify tho, are the number plate lights suppose to come on too?

Nice one cheers pal

Just recently had my S3 remapped stage 1 and noticed this fault code last night. Is it normal after a remap?

Yeah I think it’s VCDS... I’ll have another look when I get home :icon thumright:

Just seen your post, coding is mind boggling :smiley: I will try your way tomorrow see if it works on mine

Ah I see, mines a 2010 S3 sportback. VCDS is an old version as I had it when I had my golf a long while ago and I’ve had different cars since

Nice one thank you. I’ve plugged vcds in just to check for errors in 09 central elect which has brought a few up, one being the number plate bulb but before it finishes doing its search I get a comms error & I can’t even clear the codes :rage:
