rocketrollins Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have a 2002 19Tdi passat. Last week I parked it at work then at lunchtime I went to take a trip to the shop and the car will only start and cut out a split second later. It nearly seems like its some sort of immobiliser or something, The car has been left here for nearly a week and still only doing the seem thing I have checked the fuses to the right of the dash but all seem ok and im afraid to leave it in to garage and be ripped of big time. Any help would be greatful cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Usually the word 'immobiliser' appears on the dash once activated. However, do you have a spare key for the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastman Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 hi, if you want to start your car,follow these instructions and it should start, 1-make sure battery in remote is good. 2-start car and let it cut out,do not turn off leave it on the ignition, 3-leave for ten miniutes,turn off and now start, this should sort out the problem. let me know if it works, it worked on my 2000 passat tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wkdone Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The same thing happened to my 07 passat, after months finally sorted it.... Faulty fuel pump....very common problem apparently.... Try this, keep your tank over half full and it will always start....but drop under half and it will not start.... .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
