Is it possible that our Series 1 C5 is actually sulking? Where can I kick it in order to get it to snap out of it? Sorry, I don't believe in kindness to disobedient vehicles (in this case).
You may recall it started off with auto transmission fault that righted itself with faultless changes and at corect speeds.
Now it is "engine mmobilizer fault". This started about 2 weeks ago and always started on 2nd /3rd attempt but not today. Cranking beautifully but no fuel (assuming that what the imobilizer controls).
With just under 300kms on the clock and 18 years old, we have decided to upgrade and a bit regretful that Citroen decided to discontinue the C5, so Peugeot 508 GTi it is.
It really sounds/appears it is sulking and refuses to go.
Battery is fine even it has done some cranking today but will attempt once more with a donor car before tow truck is called.
It appears that the "system" refuses to accept the non FOB key that we have been using for years (upon the FOB key packing up).
Any advice greatfully welcomed.
Is it possible to bypass the immobilizer and supply 12V direct to pump via relay?
