1995 Corrado VR6 Immobiliser

[Dave Allan 0]

Sometimes when starting the Corrado it runs few a few seconds and then stops and needs to be restarted 4-5 times before the engine runs. I've been told that the ECU needs to be removed and the immobiliser files deleted to stop this happening. Is this the best way to get the engine started each time?

It sounds like the Immobiliser is your issue?

 

If you have VCDS (Licenced version) you can interrogate the Immobiliser module and see if there are any problems.

Immobilizer - Ross-Tech Wiki

 

You can go the route of re-mapping the ECU - where the tuner will solder in a new memory chip and program it to remove the immobiliser.

You may as well get it tuned at the same time?

There may even be ECUs with the Immobiliser already deleted on auction sites or forums (or even this Facebook thing).

There are a few Tuners wo can do this - Stealth springs to mind, but I've never used them.

 

Or, you can go the route of fixing your factory immobiliser.

You can try replacing the receiver ring around the ignition barrel. This comes with the harness that connects straight to the immobiliser module (near your spoiler switch).

To do anything more with the immobiliser module you need the 4-digit PIN code for it. You can recover the PIN using VagTacho, but you need a key with a matching transponder.

 

If you are around South Manchester, I can help you work out what to do next...

Thanks for your help. I live in Hertford and am trying to find somewhere that can do this because I don't have enough experience.
