It's probably the wiring between the reader coil and the cluster, or could even be the cluster causing the problem (rare, but have seen it).

By retrieving it from your ECU and/or instrument cluster with special tools.

The OP says there's no power to the "immobiliser" and the DIS doesn't work. That could be down to a failed cluster and perhaps a new/replacement one is required. You'd need the SKC for both the car and the new cluster to code a new/replacement one in. Audi can do it but they don't see the SKC...

If you do buy a key from ebay you'll need it coding to your immobiliser otherwise it will not start the car. A dealer or good auto locksmith should be able to do it for you.

If you changed the ECU it would definitely not start! Have you got another key to try? It could be the reader coil/wiring to it, the instrument cluster or the ECU if a second key doesn't help.

Not particularly easy without the correct tools no.

It does vary (which makes my life hard when doing dash swaps for people) but you will MOST LIKELY be OK so long as the rest of the part number matches up. In this case however, be VERY careful who does the dash swap for you as most of the "mileage correction" specialists who claim to be able...

S3s and TDis are both DBW, but that's not the problem at all. There's no way of coding a petrol cluster into a diesel car and getting the rev counter to work properly. The speedo should work OK though. You don't have to use cloned tools, you could use the proper ones perhaps? ;) I wouldn't...

AV Performance in Burton-on-Trent is a good place to go if it's not too far away from you.

Yes the ones listed were 5x112

I wish I hadn't sold mine.. they looked the danglies on my S2.

I think we've had this argument over on TSN, if it really was as described then I think a no-payout from the insurer is grossly unfair.

Now that is terrible. Name and shame the company.. what a mess.

It's use is to download and upload the dashboard EEPROM via the OBD port. It has various functions one of which is to change the dashboard functionality on Mk4 Golfs and Boras (you can change the needle/gauge illumination and add miles to next fillup etc) and another one is to change the...

I used to have Vagtacho working on my old HP laptop, but I'm really struggling to reinstall it onto my new laptop. I have tried three laptops now (Dell Latitude D620, Sony Vaio VGN-A517S and an old Dell Latitude LS) and I just can't get the drivers working. I believe it's version 1.5 I should be...
