Because you have changed the Module twice, (to the replacement one then back again), You will have made the ECU, (the car's brain), think it is actually being stolen. You'll need a Good Auto Electrician to look at you vehicle to sort this out. Anti-theft units are coded specifically to the vehicle it is originally fitted to and only that vehicle so it can communicate with the ECU and the Key fob. That means they are not normally a part you can just swap. The only way to swap them is to pay the Silly prices and get a Dealership to re-programme the ECU and the Anti theft module to match your vehicle.

Hi my 1999 beetle in mixing transmission oil .and water

check on your oil presure switch wire and also have your oil presure measured . could be ur switch is faulty if presure is low change oil pump

you can get guide from many sites.. i know few error codes/ fault codes, wiring diagrams, schematic diagrams, torque specs, engine info, switches functioning, assemble, disassembly, complete refurbish, repair, installation every single thing is covered within seconds u can get the access and it's totally illustrative complete

Sorry, but I don't think there is a quick, easy fix. I'm not sure if there is a fuse for it and if it is a 'shared' fuse. A one that is connected to other features such as the central locking. It sounds like the switch for the door latch is faulty. Unfortunately, it is built into the door latch mechanism so your going to have to strip down the entire door, remove the mechanism and strip that down as well. It is a time consuming, pain in the *** job! But it is one you can do yourself. Be prepared for it to take you a whole day and cost you the skin from your knuckles. You might be better off paying someone else to replace the mechanism.

Have the dealer scan the ECM to determine source of the fault.

remove the key from the ignition and press the UNLOCK. its saying the alarm was triggered, eg if door was opened without first using the unlock on the remote. maybe when alarm was armed not all doors were fully closed. or you just reconnected the battery so the door was open without you ever pressing the unlock on the remote(which could be called DISARM the alarm)

i cant tell
is it noise like continuous ticking like tic tic tic tic
or a corrosive sound like chhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
or just engine revving high rpm
is it coming from underneath like muffler or exhaust system ?
describe locate diagnose fix just that simple sir .

You'll have to pay someone to pull the head and see if the valves damaged the pistons when they collided. If so, you'll need a new engine.

possible that the mechanic who sis not auto electrical qualified has damaged the alternator when fitting it of has fitted the wrong unit ( internal voltage regulation as opposed to external voltage regulation) take it to an accredited auto electrician for a bench test , have the voltage regulator tested and load test the battery as well batteries can be defective for manufacture

Replace the valve cover gasket and spark plug seals.

You say you renewed or was the starter a second hand one because you say when you turn it over you hear a clicking noise , that's the solanoid on the starter motor where it not turning the starter over , a little check to do is put the car in 4 gear handbrake off and push it a bit until you hear the engine turn and then try and start it if still the same check and replace the starter as I don't know if yours is new or second hand

the idler is blocked in the intake, or the idle controller has failed, if you take the air pipe off the intake there is a butterfly and on the side you will see a hole, on the side you will see a device, now some time you can just spray some carb cleaner in there and give it a good flush out. also spray the butterfly and clean this up. open with the cable and do the same. you may fined that the air filter needs replacing so would do this at the same time. leave for 10 min and then start engine don't worry about it coffing etc its just the cleaner being burnt off in the engine give it a few good revs. then let it idle for 5 min, when you have done that then fit the pipes back on. run engine it should be fine now, if not repeat.

He can if it's nothing more than a broken cable, otherwise it gets real difficult. Even getting to the ends of the cable behind the dash could be a frustrating experience.
