Immobiliser problem - 94' Golf Mk3 GTI 2lt 8 valve
I own a 94' Mk3 Golf GTI, which has been stood for few months and battery has now gone flat. After charging the battery, I've found that the Remote Central Locking will not open the car, or turn off the Immobiliser or alarm. Central locking works with Key, but the engine will not start because the immobiliser is de-activated only with the Key Fob. I've replaced the batteris in the Key Fob / remote, and it appears to work, but the car just will not register anything from Fob...
I want to sell the car for parts, but cannot prove the engine works until I sort out the Immobiliser.
How can I find the immobiliser and fix it, or just by-pass it to get engine started??

you need to reset the alarm/immobiliser system...put key in drivers door and unlock/hold key over,windows will go down,wait 30 secs.
then,lock/hold key over ,windows will go up,wait 30 secs then press/hold unlock button on remote to reset system.(if you have,nt got a remote,you will HAVE to buy one)and make sure you have newish batteries in remote.
you can buy a "superchip" for this car @volkstuning,goes like stink....
If im not mistaken,your car should have an alarm reset/override.Below the steering column,on the dash should be a slot where you put your remote transmitter to deactivate the alarm.If that works,you then need to have your remote checked and coded by a vw dealer.Good luck.
by oil is "watery" I assume you mean to say thin and clean. which is normal however if there is actual water in it meaning is white and milkish looking that could be a big problem the head gasket could be blown or a cooling/oil valley broken. although sounds more like you're just being finicky 104deg. doesn't seem very hot for engine oil to me in fact it should prob. be around 180deg. depending on the oil cooler
Check that the key still has the chip inside. If not then this can be solved by having a 'virgin key' coded up to your car using the long number on the back of the clocks. Also try disconnecting the battery for a few mins, reconnect, then use the normal method to start it. If this fails then its a case of following the wires back from the immobiliser and disconnecting.
