Need help w/ 02 GTI Immobilzer
Alright, so I just got a 02 GTI in, and the thing starts for a second then cuts off, all along with the key/car logo blinking on the cluster.
tried battery swap, touching cables to discharge, wiggling it, leaving key in ignition for 20 minutes, etc and to no avail.
To be honest, Im not sure they even gave back the correct key with the car(i mean it does crank it over). Now can someone with a vagcom check it out, or do i need to bring it to a dealer/key coding type of person?

Sounds like it needs to be coded, might be able to do that with vag com but not sure.

5. Take keys out.
New remote is now programmed (it will be a couple of minutes before it works, though).
