My 01 Jetta would not start yesterday 10 minutes after shutting it off! The Immobilizer light was flashing. I checked a couple of things and then took the key, flipped it over, opposite of the way I normally insert it, and it started and ran. When I got home, it started fine with my spare key. This morning, same thing- it only starts when the key is flipped over!
As I bought this car used last year, after my 02 was totaled, I do not have the Key Code.
My question is, should it fail to start before i can get it checked out, is there any way to get it to run by bypassing the immobilizer? I do have a Ross-Tech VAG. I'm getting ready to head off on vacation and would hate to get stranded!
