2002 VW Golf Immobilizer fix 

You are a lifesaver! Ignition on for 10 min. Light goes out. Remove key, insert key and start! Problem solved!👍

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

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!!!

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!!

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!

Man u jus saved me a world of trouble,thank you for the info,ur video def helped me out,the ol golf cart is us up and running strong,thanks again man

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 !

FIX 100% working -Insert key -Turn the ignition on (leave it 12 minutes) -run the engine

Perfect fix for an old bora ! Thanks 1000x dude !

Holy shit it actually worked!!! Thank you so much

Awww thankyou so much!! Just saved me a massive ball ache mate! ❤

Omg u saved my life I been tryna turn my car on for 2 days after getting a new battery !

God bless you,it workd,greetings from România!

Tried it today on Golf mk4 2000 model. Worked perfect, thx so much.

Dude your a hero ! Worked like a treat on a 1999 golf gti too ! 😎

Thank you!! Fixed the car instantly. This saved us hours/days thinking we had to get the ECU flashed.

These guys are good, and to the point. Excellent. ;-))

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.

Worked ! I have a 1.9 tdi, alh , 90 HP, 2001. Hope it does not come back. Will it? Thank you very much ! Saved me 100 $ in Romania

For all the people with this problem, in my car the problem was the battery put a new battery and go well

Saved my bacon THANK YOU 🥓 Leave the key in ON position for 15 minutes. I didn’t need the charger.

Thank you very much. It worked for our car.

Grazie grazie grazie!🙏Funziona Golf 4.🤗🔝💪

Thanks man works on golf 4 1.4 1.4 16v

This worked for my 2000 mk4 as well. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you soooo much, my car started, i dont know why? But the car is started, thank you for the video🙏

How does this work if I don't have the original key to my 2004 VW Jetta MK4

Still not sure what you did? WHat kind o charger?

Life saver!!

Can you help me have the same problem with my Volkswagen Jetta 2012

This saved me! Thanks man

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

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.

Hi, thank you for that, but after one week repeated it? How can i do now? Thanks again.

Thanks, it worked perfectly for me! Like this video if this helped. 👍

You saved me a couple 100 bucks today sep 20th 2021

Is this applies to mk3 too ?

Thank you sir !!!

What kind of charger are you using there sir?

Hi. Will this work after instrument cluster swapping? 02 Superb 1,9 Tdi

I don't have the exact key I'm the second owner what so I do

Can this work if I changed clusters

but how long does it fix the problem for?

Bonjour, Comment avez vous fait svp ?

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

key on position, if the immobilizer stays on, just pull the key out and insert it again, sometimes my passat has that problem

Having same problem with my vw 2002 Jetta got a locksmith coming out

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

Trying this now wish me luck

tried just by leaving for 10-12min in On position, since i don't have a charger. after time, indicator kept on blinking but car started! saved me a trip/tow to mecanic Thank you very much!

So you need a battery charger to fix?

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 👍

Thank you 😊

Thanks!!

Mine doesn’t even start yet it shows the light

I just changed the ignition lock cylinder on my vw hoping this works

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.

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.

I have A 2002 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 my cars doing the same

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

Puedes decirlo en español

Ha!! Corvair 🙂

Thank you good information

I just Need to leave the key on possition for 10 -12 minutes and then even If the light still blinking i removed and try to turn on ? I just remove my cluster for cleaning and this happends 🥲
