I had exactly same problem yesterday. RAC (rescue service) mechanic did exactly same procedure. Many thanks for confirming a simple & effective solution.
got a vw cc 2013....im bypassing it buy toggling the key in the ignition...but its a big pain in the ass...car stays on after i take out key...so i gotta take off batt cable,,,,,your saying this should work for me?...are there any downsides to this procedure?
Just before I tried your solution, I found another article that said simply removing the incorrect key (if you tried starting it with a bad or wrong key), then using your (correct) smart key fob to remotely unlock your door will reset the immobilizer so the car will start. Even though we used the right key to attempt to start the car when we first experienced the problem, I removed the key, exited the car, locked it with the fob, then unlocked it with the fob, and the car started.
yo lo hice igual pero mi control funciona y abre las puertas, el tableros prende todos los testigos pero no da marcha por ende no enciende. el testigo de inmovilizador prende pero luego se apaga
@@oscarrodriguez9501I'm having the same problem, bad key, I do have the original but it stopped working after trying the wrong one the car locked on immobilizer for all keys. and unfortunately my car does not have a remote. do you have any advice for me?

Omg thankfully I have vcds, my beetle wouldn’t start Tuesday afternoon 16/4/24, it was doing exactly the same symptom. I have the battery charging at the moment as I flattened it using starter motor to get it on to my driveway. I’m going to try this procedure. I’ll let you know. 2003 yellow beetle 1.9 pd tdi “Brian”
My problem is 2001 bug sat for couple years and both car battery and fob batteries died. Pacific Northwest-seattle climate. Any recommendations what i can do to fix myself? 100 miles to dealer
Thx for sharing, but I noticed that the meter is running even before putting the key, how to fix this? Because not fixing will lead to battery leakage. Appreciate your answer, regards
Can someone help me, my new beetle 2001 gas manual, turns the key and does not release signal to the fuel pump, sometimes yes and sometimes no. you need to make a lot of attempts to be able to work. has anyone seen this? Could it be a defect in the ecu? I already changed the relay and pump
Buenos días, a mi me pasa que desconecte la bateria de mi beetle 2.5 2012 y al conectarla de vuelta no marca instrumentos, enciende y se apaga, tendrás alguna solución para este detalle? Por lo que se es el inmovilizador, gracias de antemano
My car has the exact same behavior (shutting off in the same way), but it's intermittent/random and it always starts fine on the second try. Is it probably still the immobilizer?
Juntar as terminales no daña la computadora?? Ya había escuchado que es como un reseteo para la computadora pero después un mecánico me dijo que al hacerlo se podía dañar.. (claro que no se veía con mucha experiencia)
En mi experiencia no he tenido problemas con este procedimiento, incluso con otros dueños de New Beetle. Lo que si puede dañar la computadora es cargar la batería con otro vehículo.
Lo puedes escanear a ver que código da y ver cual es el problema real. Si te sucede de nuevo intenta este otro método: Coloca la llave (que las luces del marca millas estén encendidas) y desconecta la batería por 30 segundos. Luego conecta la batería y sin quitar la llave enciende el auto.
Man someone help before the dealer takes my first born to fix my car. 2007 VW CC. this is what happens..if my car sits in the sun too long, not running mind you, it won't start and says immobilizer active. on any cool day it will start at any time of the day. Volkswagen told me it sounded like a cluster instrument problem and told me they could only get those from Germany and that it would cost me $1,200 and I'd have to wait 2 weeks, I left there and found several cluster instrument stores online and bought a new one only for it to happen again

Unbelievable - my lupo hasn’t started since mid 2021. Tried this trick and it coughed into life - fab!! V happy chap!
Worked straight away, got to love a youtube tutorial

Will this work on the jettas and Golfs?

hi there, is it fixed permanently or it's just temporary? after success this step and turn it off, can it start again?

Will this work for a 2005 audi s4?
So what would be the next step after that doesn't work?

Replace the batteries
Does this happen on a TDI?
Dave Kana This can happen on 2000 or later
NewBeetlePR thanks!

You can check the key first. The key has a chip that communicates with the computer and the immobilizer system.
Is the immobilizer part of the steering column where the key goes

Mí auto hace lo mismo pero si le dejo la llave unos 15 min prende pero cuando hace frío lo vuelve a hacer que hago

@@newbeetlepr gracias
@@newbeetlepr el código que me avienta es unidad de motor de control bloqueada ya hice lo de la batería y sigue igual
Buen aporte amigo como sirmpre me podrias ayudar la aguja de las revoluciones no me marca que podria ser de antemano gracias por compartir 🤗🤗
jesus mario rios m Saludos! Puede que el marca millas ya esté dañado.
hola lo hice pero no funcciona
Si no funciona en ese caso conlleva una reprogramación adicional.
Doesn’t work in mine
Great, it worker, this procedure I have seen they call it dead brain
mi auto hace lo mismo pero no siquiera enciende lo intentaré haber si esto funciona
Better the use smallest pozitive cable,this is the on board power supply ,the biggest from the starter.
Our 2006 won’t start because of immobilizer if it’s between 30° and 55° any other time it starts fine 😵💫

Must be in your ecu then ???
Or something else is wrong with your car and making this happen to the cluster or ecu like a short or 02 sensor or something 🤷♂️
Could be ur key?
My car now happened same like ur.. did u have found the problem..?
Did not work. Sorry
No, me parece bien hacer un video porque es mentira eso no funciona en ese codigo y no es la forma de operar.
video could of been 10 seconds with the same information.
You do know that there are people who may never have used a spanner before? Step by step is always better
🙏🙏🙏@@TheBlaert
Does not work
Raivo Nõmme If not works yo need to program the throttle.
@@newbeetlepr how do you program the throttle ?
@@jaime42591 how does programming throttle of disconnecting battery sort immobilizer problems....rubbish you need to programme keys again vag tacho
