Hi,
Newbie here with a question.
I have an 2003 a4 1.8T Quattro sport 6 Speed 190 avant, when i purchased the car the spare key was replaced as it was missing but the specialist company who supplied it could not get it coded properly so it only unlocks the car and wont start it up.
I have been advised that this can only be done at an Audi main dealer as it requires a code to be downloaded for this model.
Is this correct? or is there another way without incurring major expense.
Hoping someone on here will know.
I have been a forum member for a while but never posted before but it seems that there are a lot of very helpfull poeple on here with a lot of knowledge hence posting.
Thanks very much,
Burty.

I had it done by Audi a few years back for about £70. I think it's the only way.
