Hi Folks,
Sorry to be the one to only turn up when I have problems, but I am sure I am not alone there.
I'm running a '04 1.4 TDi 90 ,which I have had for seven years or so. It has 108,000miles on it.
It has a few age related problems, but has been running well up until a couple of weeks ago, when it started the old turbo cut out routine, which is known territory.
The last time it was serviced a couple of months ago, 4 spurious alarm faults were found.
Door Contact Switch on 2 doors.
Terminal 15
Glass Breakage Sensor.
All were reset at the time.
A dipped beam bulb blew early last week.
Everything was working fine after a new bulb was fitted later in the week.
The following day the car would not to respond to either key fob. The car battery is healthy.
Thinking it might be a keyfob battery issue I replaced both but with no change to the symptoms.
If I open the driver door with the key, I can start the engine, but the car seems to think it is being stolen.
Dash & hazards are flashing furiously.
Can any kind soul please give guidance as to how to stop my poor car sulking?
Many thanks.
Nige.
