  • After sitting for over a month without being driven the battery died. When I charged it up I had a indicator on the dash flashing and the car would not run. Hopefully this fix will work for you as well.

    i tried programming a new key by using a method from youtube. it didnt work. the next day my original key started the car but it kept switching off. my heart sunk. i remembered watching your video and left the key in position two without trying to start it. i left it for ten minutes and came back to see the car immobiliser signal still on. i removed the key and put it back in and it fired up first time. the immobiliser signal is also not staying on. thanks so much. God knows how much i would have had to pay to rectify the problem

    You are a lifesaver! Ignition on for 10 min. Light goes out. Remove key, insert key and start! Problem solved!👍

    Hi there. Thank you so much for this video. I also managed to fix this immobilizer issue for my Golf 5 2006. I did exactly and while charging with the ignition on and engine off, I have noticed that the blinking light went off. Waited the 10 minutes and after that IT WORKED. THANK YOU again and BLESS YOU!!!

    Verification for someone else watching:
    For a 2002 Golf: Turn key from off to on, light flashing. Left the key in the on position for 20 minutes, came back and the light was off. Removed the key, put it back in and the car started right up. Thank you!!

    You just saved my life! Thank you so much for this video!!! My car was doing the same thing and I thought I was going to have to get it towed! I let the key sit for 12 minutes turned on and the immobilizer indicator light went off! As soon as it did that I turned the key off and it started right up! Thank you again so much!

    thank you. I was getting really worried I had to take the car to the shop.
    Didn't start it for 3 months. Had the same symptoms after throwing in a new battery, but leaving the key in with the ignition on for 10 min solved it. The light turned off after and the engine started normally.

A guy came told me its gonna be R3500 to fix it and he will need to tow the car to his garage so that he can remove the computer box and bypass Immobilizer. the only thing which made me to say no was that he said he wants to bypass immobilizer.
