Seat Ibiza ASZ TDI: Starts, then dies

Hey everyone, I'm new here .

I drive a Seat Ibiza TDI with the Asz engine, producing 131 horsepower.

Okay, here's what happened: I was out and parked the car for about 2 minutes. When I tried to start it, it turned on, so I turned it off because I had forgotten something. Less than 10 seconds later, I tried to start it again, but it wouldn't start, or it would start briefly and then immediately turn off.
And now, every time he starts it up for the first time, it starts and then immediately shuts off again.
If I then want to restart it, it starts making meaningless noises.
What could that possibly be? Turbo!?

I really need help; I'm completely lost.

It has nothing to do with the turbocharger; you don't need that to start the engine. It's more likely related to the power supply or the ignition switch.
However, troubleshooting requires more information, which is why a diagnosis is necessary.
And that's why...

It sounds like an immobilizer.
It happened to me too, although it was sporadic at first and gradually got worse.
Admittedly, if you have the same problem as I do, it doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Nevertheless, I'm writing about it.
The search function often provides a lot of information. I always start with the simplest solution. My first attempt was a success. Lucky me. Someone wrote that you should press a button next to the 180 on the speedometer with your thumb when starting the car. It worked. Later, I resoldered a connector strip in the instrument cluster. After that, the problem was completely gone.
Best regards,
Jörg

Hey, thanks for your reply . I'm going to try it today, I hope it's really the immobilizer :-/.

Hi,

If you want to know for sure whether it's the immobilizer, rather than just hoping, then you read the error memory from the engine control unit using VCDS.

It contains something like that.

Best regards, Rainer.
