Hi there. Thank you so much for this video. I also managed to fix this immobilizer issue for my Golf 5 2006. I did exactly and while charging with the ignition on and engine off, I have noticed that the blinking light went off. Waited the 10 minutes and after that IT WORKED. THANK YOU again and BLESS YOU!!!
You just saved my life! Thank you so much for this video!!! My car was doing the same thing and I thought I was going to have to get it towed! I let the key sit for 12 minutes turned on and the immobilizer indicator light went off! As soon as it did that I turned the key off and it started right up! Thank you again so much!
You are AWESOME!!!!! Btw, we did not have a charger so this works without a charger plugged in as well. After 10 minutes exactly, a message came up saying Demobilized or something like that. Wr started the cat and it worked!
Hi, I have same problem. Can you tell me if this will happen again in future? Because in my car it's coming again and again, and I am worried to get stuck when i am somewhere out of town. Any permanent solution? I am ready to spend money too.
i tried programming a new key by using a method from youtube. it didnt work. the next day my original key started the car but it kept switching off. my heart sunk. i remembered watching your video and left the key in position two without trying to start it. i left it for ten minutes and came back to see the car immobiliser signal still on. i removed the key and put it back in and it fired up first time. the immobiliser signal is also not staying on. thanks so much. God knows how much i would have had to pay to rectify the problem
Verification for someone else watching: For a 2002 Golf: Turn key from off to on, light flashing. Left the key in the on position for 20 minutes, came back and the light was off. Removed the key, put it back in and the car started right up. Thank you!!

@@ItsArkofficial01same issue with 1998 volkswagen passat 1.8T this method is temporary basically you have a problem with immobilizer system Between your key, instrument cluster and ecu so.. So I'm about to install a device immobilizer emulator on my dashboard hopefully will resolved the issue and disable the immobilizer permanently. Try doing research on VAG immobilizer emulator.. This device is for Volkswagen audi skoda euro cars only. Learn it

Golf GT Mk 5 2008. Did not expect this to work but it actually did!! Turn key, leave 12 mins, try engine, success. It’s still a bit intermittent but this is a very good quick fix

Thank you so much for sharing this idea ! We have a Golf 4 2001 that suddenly got this error. None of the keys was working , panic ! Following your procedure , BANG it started !
That worked for me as well but the weird thing is I had bought another key that would only get me into the car because I didn’t want to pay for programming works now
I got a new ecu for my mk6 and it’s saying immobilizer but still runs and drives. My epc and oil light are on though do you think the immobilizer is making those two codes come on?
thank you. I was getting really worried I had to take the car to the shop. Didn't start it for 3 months. Had the same symptoms after throwing in a new battery, but leaving the key in with the ignition on for 10 min solved it. The light turned off after and the engine started normally.

It worked for me on Lupo 1.0 Lupo 1999 model does not have a light indicator for the immobilizer, but it started after the procedure. I plan to bypass the immobilizer in future.

Thank you so much after 10 minutes my car started. A guy came told me its gonna be R3500 to fix it and he will need to tow the car to his garage so that he can remove the computer box and bypass Immobilizer. the only thing which made me to say no was that he said he wants to bypass immobilizer. I realized he was thinking of steal my car.
I had the same problem as described above. I left the key in the ignition for 10 mins, removed the key and insertedthe key once gain and the car started. THANK YOU

I had the same issue left the key in the position of engine on, for 10mins and it solved the issue initially. But now I have the EPC light flashing too and it won't start even with the waiting minimum 10mins... Any ideas or should I burn the bloody thing

I held my key in On position for 30 mins but the indicator light wouldn’t go off... Still not able to start the car and it’s the same model like yours.
@@tipsnadvice7284 I tried this using the spare key, cause my original key was temporary lost, but it seemed that this key itself had to be coded so this method didn't work for me. Luckily I found the original key some time later. Thanks anyway, I see this seems to be working for other people.

I've got this problem and the wait a bit of time fix isn't a practical one as it doesn't fix it permanently and it can do it again any time in the future.
That doesnt fix the issue buddy. That just temporarily resets it, it will happen again and continue happening until the root issue is fixed, mine is getting worse and that light will almost always come on if the temp is warmer than 70 or so degrees, and I'll have to wait ten minutes for it to reset for the car to recognize my key
@@ItsArkofficial01 negative, fighting it everytime its warm out at all. Finding that it may be related to the intrusment cluster taking a dump, which could make sense due to my speedometer and cruise con trol doing whacky things when they want
This actually works as long the battery is fully powered leave the car on for 15 to 20 minutes the ligh will switch off "" special thanks to the guy recording this my car is fixed 👍

Omg u saved my life I been tryna turn my car on for 2 days after getting a new battery !
Tried it today on Golf mk4 2000 model. Worked perfect, thx so much.
Hey did you use a battery charger aswell while the key was on ?
@@treyhemopo38 I think we did not do that. We were surprised it worked so smoothly that time.
Would you be kind enough to tell me the steps you took to get running properly?
Dude your a hero ! Worked like a treat on a 1999 golf gti too ! 😎
Just to add I didn't use a charger ! Just left key on whilstb immobiliser light on for 12 to 15 mins
That worked for me as well but the weird thing is I had bought another key that would only get me into the car because I didn’t want to pay for programming works now

Saved my bacon THANK YOU 🥓
Leave the key in ON position for 15 minutes.
I didn’t need the charger.
Holy shit it actually worked!!!
Thank you so much
Did the issue come back? Im trying it now but curious if its a permanent fix or not

Still not sure what you did? WHat kind o charger?
key on position, if the immobilizer stays on, just pull the key out and insert it again, sometimes my passat has that problem
Grazie grazie grazie!🙏Funziona Golf 4.🤗🔝💪
Having same problem with my vw 2002 Jetta got a locksmith coming out
Can this work if I changed clusters
Su plusieurs forum et après votre vidéo je pense que le problème est une chute de tension inférieur à 12 v qui arrive à la clé
Hi, thank you for that, but after one week repeated it? How can i do now? Thanks again.
Is this applies to mk3 too ?
This saved me! Thanks man
Hi. Will this work after instrument cluster swapping? 02 Superb 1,9 Tdi
Did it work?
but how long does it fix the problem for?
In my case, my car has not had the problem again since I had to do this. That’s been years now.
Bonjour,
Comment avez vous fait svp ?
I had the same problem as described above. I left the key in the ignition for 10 mins, removed the key and insertedthe key once gain and the car started.

So? It worked?
