Transponder chip  :surprised: you're very lucky to have found it as that's what demobilises the car. news ones are cheap but then it'll need reprogramming with vagcom/vcds. Done this with my new spare key on previous motor and it worked a treat.

Ricky123:
As above... Very lucky!

put transponder in new key and now got alarm going off when door unlocks but alarm goes off when key inserted in ignition. Car starts and runs. Am motivated now to get it booked into main dealer to get key fob lock/unlock sorted once and for all. it is a pain unlocking on the key when you got your hands full and need the boot open before getting in.

Just got the car revo mapped and intake done yesterday along with Eibach coilers so definitely keeping it. Amazed at the difference a stage 1 tune makes especially now it has been set up properly with new bushes etc. It is just so willing.

Thanks everyone for the help, Maxitrol you are a legend. I would have been properly stuck today as the missus has got the hoover out again this morning and that transponder would have been lost forever if we didn't find it last night !

Ricky123:
Is the battery ok in the key? Try pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the fob while locking/unlocking the door and also try pressing them while turning the ignition on and off.

Had a similar issue a while ago and a mate suggested it and it seemed to work

r5gtt:
^^^ As Ricky say's and it does work when losing the memory as I had the same with my Audi when losing the memory.

Don't go spending a fortune when a few presses on the button will do.
