I just recently bought a 01 audi A4 quattro from a auction had no key. i had locksmith make me key and also called to make sure the a4 didnt need the key with sensor. now the car isnt passing any spark. any idea's on what might be wrong thanks. (im new to the audi scene)

 

when you try to start it, is the car turning over? or is it just dead?

 

it turns over fine and the gas is flowing right but its doesnt seem to be passing spark. do you know if this car have factory immobilizer chip? its a 2001 A4 quattro

 

well honestly sine you got it at the auction how you know the car starts in the first place if it had no keys?

 

Yea i know i took a risk now im trying to figure out whats keeping it from passing spark. everything works properly and thats the only thing that led me to believe that maybe it might have a immobilizer chip. but yea i dont know to much about these cars. any idea on how to check if the ignition solenoids are good or is there a relay fuse that would keep it from working? thanks

 

nah i dont know much about that ether I just know about auction cars because few of my friends are dealers and we go to auctions a lot and sometimes cars without keys screw you after you bought them. My friends RSX Type-s was like that no key and he had to have his key made also but car started just fine after so i dont know man

 

I have a 2000 a4 1.8t Q and the key are chipped ... you will need to go to a audi dealer and buy one ( I think the remote key is like 300 or 400 $ ) and they will need to program it. As a example, if you install a remote start on your car, they need to take the chip from one of your valet key and insert it in a special module .

 

around here the keys are under $200 from the dealer.

 

dude i if you need the fob got several at home from various audis/vw if you give me the fcc id i can see if i have it and sell you one for 50 with a new uncut blade.

 

So do these car come with the chip in the key, cause i called the dealership earlier and they told me that this year and model didnt come with a chip. and also they told me if it did have a chip the car would turn on but after 3 seconds it would shut off . I got my key from a locksmith.
maybe the dealership lied? not sure but if anyone could help me with this problem i would greatly appreciate it. thanks
