Hi All
My missus has an '01 110TDi Leon and in recent months she's had a few occasions where she goes to start the car and absolutely nothing happens. Ignition lights are all on and the battery is fine, its sounds almost as if the immobiliser is still on, but locking/unlocking doesnt help. Ive even got her to take the spare key with her to try that when it happens, just in case the transponder in the key is playing up, but its no better with either key.
The strange thing is though, so far its happened maybe 10 times in the last few months, and every time the fault will rectify itself and she'll be able to start the car fine, sometimes within seconds, other times maybe 5-10 minutes later.
Any ideas? Obviously my concern is that one day it won't rectify itself and leave her stranded, but I can't really do a lot because Ive never been around when its failed to check anything over.
cheers
Chris
