#1: Engine Immobiliser Fault.. Car still starts fine Author: s3tre2003, Location: CornwallPosted: Fri Dec 13, 2013 2:40 am ---- Hello,
I picked up a replacement for my pain in the a**e 1.6hdi at the weekend. A silver 2.0 HDi Dturbo on an 04 plate.
All has been lovely with this car, but it started throwing up a "Engine Immobilser Fault" on the screen sometimes when starting the car. It has not long had a new battery in it.
The car still starts and drives fine... anyone have any ideas? The car still has warranty so the garage will book it in locally for us. Just after some ideas so i don't get fobbed off?

Will give the BSI reboot a try later... if that fails what else could it be? It odd because the car starts with no issues. Just a Bong sound sometimes and the needles reset themselves?

Was wondering if the key had taken a bit of a bashing as it has a few marks on it

Have started and driven it 3 times since posting this earlier and hasn't vome up once..
Spoke to an auto electrician on the phone and he thinks it could be a combination of it having a low battery before and perhaps a key going a bit dodgy
