If your car starts for a second or two runs and then dies youll have to take it to the dealer to get the keys programed. Im not sure which module you replaced, however searching for imobilizer may get you some information your looking for. Double check my spelling of imobilizer too.

If you have the central locking control module. you can syncronize keys yourself.

But only the dealer can program keys from scratch to central locking / comfort controland only the dealer can program keys to the immobilzer.

pretty much cause you need a scan tool.

if its just regular locking mechanism just put the key it the driver door and turn it to the right and hold it for like 20 seconds along with the locking button. so push and holdthe locking button and turn the key to the right.try that. thats how i sync my car.

We didn't any immobilizers over here, Audi didn't think we were smart enough on how to use them.
