Hey boys and girls!
Hoping some of the more informed people might be able to help!
Basically a friend of mine's recently bought my A3 1.8T Sport and the ignition barrel decided to snap, the linkage between the barrel and the switch is what's failed.
He's sourced a new barrel and key, swapped the transponder over. The car will turn over and fire, it'll run for approx 5 seconds and then just kill itself.
Now I know the clocks, ECU and keys/barrel are normally coded altogether but would any of you be able to suggest if there's something really simple that we've missed or that needs to be done with swapping the barrel/transponder to match the ECU?
Any help/suggestions would be massively appreciated!
Thanks
