Hi all, i know this is a Ford site but seeing as its so full of people with knowledge i thought id ask a question for a freind of mine!
He has a Audi a4 1.8 turbo sport (96,P reg)! Bascicly it runs for about 3seconds then cuts out? There is a light on the dash with what looks like a symbol of a car with a key in the middle which is flashing? Sorry the info is a bit vague but ive only spoken to him on the phone and not seen for myself!

Any ideas are welcome, thanks

Immobiliser issue - probably faulty transponder in fob.

its immobilised,could be ring transponder round the ign barrel or the key fob itself,has it been left with a flat battery for any length of time? if so it may need the dash recoded.

Mr.h.

Thanks for the quick replies chaps!
Do u think it would be worth seeing if he can get a new key fob and then sync it to the car? Main dealer job?
Hes jus told me its happened a few times before, but managed to get it running after a few turns of the key, but now its just not having it?

No spare key to try?
