Ciaran 4 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 right got a fault with my car and my mate who used to be an Audi/VW mechanic has diognosed it as eigther a fault with the coilpack although no fault code.or he thinks there could be a problem with the factory immobiliser ie. chip in key not getting picked up.seeing as it is possible to steal a VR6 there must be a way of bypassing this immobiliser has anyboy any idea cos this would confirm the coilpack??
