Jon94VR 10 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Started last week OK, took battery off to charge but put it back on today, went to start, there was an ominous pop and now it won't start; starts, revs up then dies, sounds similar to a immobiliser problem I had on my polo when the chip in the key went, but AFAIK the keys don't have chips in, really at a loose end with this thing now...

seanl82 23 Posted March 3, 2014 Key should have a chip in if its a factory VR. When you say pop, do you mean from the bay, or could it be a fuse? If its the immobiliser, it'll start then cut out after about two or three seconds. Not uncommon tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon94VR 10 Posted March 3, 2014 Arsecakes, erm guessing its electrical as I let the smoke out :-\ little bit of smoke from the bay and quite an audible pop, checked fuses and relays, nowt obvious so bit stuck tbh, where's the immobiliser on C's?
