Hello everyone.
Vehicle Ibiza 6L 1.9 TDI engine ASZ icon_smile.gif 280,000 km, manufactured in 2003.

The WFS sometimes has minor issues (the key blinks, and it's not possible to start). That's why I successfully resoldered all the solder joints in the instrument cluster about 8 years ago.
Now, the WFS occasionally starts blinking again.
To save time, I would now disable the WFS.
There are devices available, often called "immo off boxes," for around €30 that can bypass the immobilizer system for the EDC15 engine control unit.

Does this work, or is it more likely to cause problems?

I was able to easily disable the immobilizer with a €25 immo box icon_smile.gif icon_smile.gif.
