Hi
Have aquired an Seat Ibiza 2001, 1.4 stella... that doesn start.
First off, my knowledge about cars is still rather limited but i'm getting there.
Secondly, i'm sorry if the topic has already been arounde and i'm posting an already existing thread but honestly, I don't know what to search for.
Now to the problem.
It seems that the key doesn't communicate with the car. Central locking does not react when I press the key and when I turn the key to start the enginge nothing happends.
The display lights up as normal but normal but there is no ignition at all.
My first thought was that the fob had lost it's sync/programming so I have done the stated manouvre in the manual that states putting the key into the ignition and then within 5 sec (read 2 to 3 sec)
remove the key again after the display starts up. Then i pressed and held the top button on the key as i pressed the bottom one three times. I see that the key reacts but nothing happens in the car.
The central locking works when I use the key manually.
A buddy of mine ran a obd2 diagnostics reader and got the error code e 17. We determined that it was something about the immobilizer.
According to the previous owner this happened when he replaced the instrument panel. I still have the old one.
Anybody got a clue.
