Re: Ign.key problem vs vagcom fault found
Just thought I'd let you know.
I removed the stearing wheel and surrounding cowlings, to access the ignition coil. Seems that the wiring to immobilizer coil indeed was a little short. Had to unwrap som of the wiring sheething/taping and checked the contacts/plug for the immobilizer coil. Local Audi-shop told me they usually bent the springs of the small female contacts a little to make a good connection before reassembling again. Voila! and the problem is gone. A bad/intermittent connection to the immobilizer coil was the problem.

And by the way, there is no battery in the key as far as I know. The key seems to be magnetically excited by the immobilizer coil if I have got it right...

Thanks for all the help guys.



Can anyone please tell me the best way to remove stearing wheel as i have same proplem
thanks
