Thread: Help! EKA sequence for 97 Di TDI.

Insert key in drivers door lock.
Turn key to unlock required times for first digit (3 would be 3 times)
Key to lock required times for next digit.
Unlock again.
Lock again.

Then finally unlock again once to unlock car and it should disable immobiliser.

so say your EKA is 4567 it would be:

<<<< >>>>> <<<<<< >>>>>>> <

Oh, and if you mess up it will beep.
If it beeps, hold key locked for more than 5 secs then start again.

Thanks. I have been turning it to lock for five seconds first so that may be putting it one turn out. also the lock is pretty worn so maybe now im a little less frustrated i may be able to get it. Steady, slowly and breathe.....
Thanks heaps for the reply.

No worries, good luck.

This happened to me, I found I had to have very deliberate movements when returning key to 12 o clock position every time for it to work.

Well, EKA didnt work but manipulated the remote a bit a got it to work....three times. Now it wont work again no matter what, guessing the remote is totally stuffed now. It is however now stuck in my driveway which is much more desireable than 5 stories below ground.
For the EKA i am turning to lock for over five seconds (it beeps at me occasionally when i do this) then go through unlock for first number, lock for second, unlock for third and lock for forth. Then open and no joy, still little red flashing car. Any ideas? I can hear the clicks in the lock, does this make any difference?
Also can it be started by shorting the starter motor once the key is on? I guess this would defeat the purpose of having an immobiliser in the frist place though!!

I see you dont have your handbook, so this might help.

Find the the theft alarm unit, 12 pin plug (C274) "behind the RH fascia" according to RAVE. The non anti-theft model has a jumper plug from pin 10 to pin 11 to bypass the alarm circuit for the starter motor. The fuel shut-off can be hotwired from the ignition or from the satellite fuse box 1, fuse 3. It can also be enabled by removing the alarm spider (behind the centre of the dash) and shorting pins 8 and 4 of this plug. (C2095)

I strongly advise you having a copy of RAVE on hand to disable the anti-theft but it should be quite easy. When you have fixed the alarm systems they are easy to plug back in.

After reading this, is it better to perhaps remove the OEM Security sys and install an aftermarket one?
