Ok, to make a long story short :wink: what i would do in you situation: * Get/buy a replacement key (at the scrappies), replace the blade with the one you already have. Or try this with the other key that you have, if it is from the same model. * Replace the battery * Program the RFID transponder of...

Question 1: will I be able to connect to the car if the immobilizer is not present? No. Does this mean I can't connect the pp2000 to the car without having a key with a transponder? surely the cut key blade on its own should allow me to? I'm sorry, I misread your question :cry: I read too quickly, ...

A long story, i will try to unravel :cheesy: which unlocks the car and turns the ignition Do you mean that the car is cranking? Or just that you can turn the key in the barrel? The key doesn't have an immobilizer chip You mean it is missing the RFID chip (transponder)? In that case the key is pretty...

You're welcome. Glad you got it fixed!

http://s733.photobucket.com/user/barwood/media/20170524_192044_zpshb8bcjbs.jpg.html Does this work?? Looking at the massive amount of "Short circuit to positive" faults, i would think of a problem with an earth connector or earth strap. The electric leads from the ECU to the sensors often have so-c...

I'd be interested to know if virginising this EEPROM just means writing 0s over all of its memory. No, afaik that will brick the EDC15C2 . I think there are some factory default parametes in there that must have a correct value. There are loads of forums out there where people upload their EEPROM d...

kind of what I was afraid of.

But it is not a difficult job, should be half an hour at most for a car electronics specialist.

that I know. But how do I erase/delete them? You will have to "virginize" the EEPROM. I don't have experience in that... Another option (that I also don't have experience with) may be (see https://www.lesamisdelaprog.com/lecture-ecriture-ecus/1442-edc15c2-zones-apres-vente-pleine-2.html#post7742): ...

hmmm ... could also be that the EEPROM in the engine ECU is full and needs to be emptied. See https://www.lesamisdelaprog.com/lecture-ecriture-ecus/1442-edc15c2-zones-apres-vente-pleine.html where it says: After a lot of research, I think I have found the cause, that would be a memory saturation of ...

Do you really need to fill in the entry in the service zone? It seems that PP2000 only gets here after the faults have been erased. See also viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11944 and viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11951

The Bosch EDC15C2 as used in this model runs on air flow (i.e. the MAF sensor, just after the air filter) Only if the MAF sensor readings are considered to be off-range (or not present e.g. if you unplug its electrical connector), it will switch to running on the air pressure (i.e. the MAP sensor, a...

Hold on ShadowStripes, you're nearly there! :D I think Doggy is right, that it is a boost leak. Seems that the turbo is working fine now: the air flow sensor is measuring lots of air intake, so the engine computer is ordering a lot of fuel to be delivered. But a lot of air is leaked so it doesn't ar...

I also noticed that the automatic lights often stay on when the sun is at a very low angle. This morning around 7 am the sun was shining quite bright but at a low angle, the automatic light was on during my complete trip to work. But if the sun is up high the lights are always off. For me it is not ...

the aerial came off but left the spring on the base You mean the threaded part of the aerial mast broke off? hmmm :frown: Maybe by drilling the left in bit out you can at least use the base again. A new aerial seems to be well available and not so expensive, see e.g. http://www.eurocarcare.net/radi...

I summarize your issues. After contact off and removal of key, after 30 seconds: - Radio loses all its memorised channels - Door puddle lights turn off - Central door locking does not work, key operates only mechanically opening one door at a time I looked in SEDRE (the DVD with the electrical schem...
