My partners Golf has Intermittent starting problems which are happening more frequently. The Car will start and run for about 1 Second then will cut out. Definitely electrical as there is not coughing or spluttering, just a clean stop as the power is cut. Seems to me like the Immobilser is re-energising after startup! Any ideas about the likely culprit?
Same problem exists with both keys although initially it did seem to happen on one more than the other.
I Have just checked auto data, yes the bent copy lol! system malfunction, engine will run for 1 second and cut out, immobiliser can only be reprogrammed using suitable diagnostic equip. dont mess about get it into a dealer.... or buy a free running ecu..where the eprom chip for the key reading process is cleared..

Yeh, although no great surprise, when we took it in to the garage and ran the Diagnostic it could find no faults at all.
Thanks for that Spittle5dj, I shall go back to them with this and see what they come up with.
Cheers
your certainly on the right wavelength. most immob work that way. a good diagnostic machine will tell you that you have a key problem.
