Hi all, got a bit of a problem with the wife's Tdi 200.
The ignition lock broke so I got a new one and temporarly plugged it in to test it.
I should explain that the car has an aftermarket immobiliser that we want to get rid of.
So after fitting the new lock she now turns over fine, without needing to touch the immo key, but she won't fire. I'm assuming that in the immo circuit (which is now on the floor in disgust!!) they included the fuel solenoid, so I'm working on the basis that the supply has been cut to it by removing the immo.
My plan is after lunch when it stops raining, to provide a second direct supply to the solenoid & she if she fires then as I can't think of anything else electrical that can be stopping her fire up ??
How do I get the car back to std so the the solenoid is fed in the normal way once more?
Any & all comments/advice welcomed. I'm not worried about security aspects of not having an immo, as we live in the back of beyond.
Cheers
Dave
