Audi immobilised

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

The wife came home in the Audi (2001 S6) yesterday, and said she could not lock it. So I tried with both keyfobs, (both of which worked previously) to no avail. Much messing around and now the alarm and the immobiliser have deployed. So I have disconnected the battery, and begun the head-scratching.

 

I suspect it could be due to the locks not being able to set, as when I re-attach the battery, (the alarm immediately sounds), it is possible to lock the car with the key in the keyhole, but the fuel flap does not lock, as it should. So would it be a fair guess, that this fuel flap lock has failed, and the locking cycle can thus not complete itself, in turn showing a system fault, and tripping the immobiliser?

 

Any ideas much appreciated.

 

Cheers

Stupid question, but the remote hasn't gone flat has it?

 

My dads Vectra did the same, just needed the fob re-syncing and all was right again.

 

I can't see why the fuel cap would affect the rest of the central locking. It *should* cycle again and unlock if the BCM's seeing something not closed/locked.

No, both remotes previously worked, I have renewed the batteries in one of them, just incase they both failed, but to no avail.
