It's my '93 GLI saloon 2.0 auto:
This is the one without the keypad in the centre console and without the lockable switch behind the LH headlight.
It says in the manual the only way to arm/disarm the immobiliser is with the blip, which is of the one button variety. Last time the car was parked on my drive, it was locked with the blip, as always. If I now try to use it, it unlocks alright with the blip, but the red LED on the dash keeps blinking and the car won't start, to be precise, the starter motor doesn't even turn. When I then get out and lock the car with the blip, the alarm goes off. It goes out again after 30 seconds, exactly like it says in the book.
I have conducted an internet search, but nothing conclusive turned up, so I do hope you guys know how to tackle this. Otherwise I'm afraid it's scrappy time.
