Hi all.

I've just bought a Seat Leon Cupra 1.8 20V T 51 Reg. I'm chuffed to bits with it, but it's got the following problem:

When I try to start it up on cold mornings the engine starts up then immediately cuts out. The immobiliser light flashes when I trun the ignition on.

This only happens on cold mornings. Any other time, all the usual lights go out on the dash and the car start up and runs fine.

Is my immobiliser shot?

Chris

poss poor connection on reader coil
remove steering wheel, remove column covers
seperate connector to reader coil on ignition switch and tighten connections
