Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My sharan will not start and I have been told it could be the immobiliser broken.But no one seems to know and I am faced with scrapping it which I cant afford to do or finding out the problem.Is the death of the immobiliser the end of the car or not

What engine , petrol or diesel ? Could be something simple like crank sensor , ignition coil .

Ignore " petrol / diesel comment " , it's been a long day .Dug this out RE . VW Sharan / Galaxy forum , could check .
Hi guys
Well the car ran fine for a day & then it left her stranded in a pub car park the following day!!!
Unplugged the relay 167 & replugged it back in & it started first time!!! Apparently its another common fault with these cars the central unit that controls the immobiliser fails & needs resetting, basically remove power etc.
Its been fine since & she knows what relay to remove if it does it again! LOL!
I found the answer here..... http://www.carsurvey.org/viewmorecom...ew_1256_3.html
....as well as finding out why the elecy windows sometimes play up - blocked water drain holes leading to water seeping into the footwells & then getting into the control units!!!!
Basically its just a disaster waiting to happen!!!
And this ,
for diesels 109 relay is the biggest culprit, this powers up the ecu. iirc on the galaxy you have to drop the fuse box as it's fitted right on the back so when youre looking at it it has 601 written on it.
Hope this helps .
