Hi guys,
Fantastic forum full of fantastic info, however I have been struggling to find info regarding my exact problem.
I have bought a '94 200 TDi. Unfortunately only one key and no fobs.
The door locks are moving about 5 degrees either side of vertical then no more. This I am imagining is a lock issue but it is happening on both sides and the boot lock is just useless anyway but does still lock with central locking when you depress a button.
So onto my main problem. I took it to town for the first time and as such was the first time I went about locking the doors (living in the middle of nowhere is great). Upon discovering the locks didn't work I depressed a door button and closed the door without thinking how I was going to get back in.
Turns out the rear left door doesn't lock. Thank goodness. So I got in, unlocked the doors again from the inside and when I went to start it the hazards began flashing and horn doing it's thing also. 5 mins went by before disconnecting the horn to save my sanity.
Anyway, the disco is still in town and I am unable to get it to start or drive, the alarm/immobiliser appears to have done it's job for the first time since 1997 (warranty ran out then) and as such I'm stuck without the vehicle.
With only one key and no alarm fob what do you suggest I do to allow me to get my disco back home and running again.
Thanks in advance.
Pete.
