Audi TT A3 A4 a5 a6 or Jetta Passat Golf Rabbit or GTI Sometimes if your battery dies in the remote or in the car the key loses its memory and needs to be reset or reprogrammed I also have a video on how to do it if you have 1 key and another if you have 2 keys and remotes

NO CONFIRMED FIX !!!! WHAT KIND OF MECHANIC ARE YOU FUCKING HELL MAN !
I have benefited SO MUCH over the years from vids here on YouTube, and know that all procedures don't work for everyone's issue. That said, here's my story: 2000 Beetle, 2.0L AEG engine, manual 5spd. Unlocked car w/key fob; instead of getting in right away, loaded groceries onto passenger seat via opened passenger door. Alarm goes off, shut it off w/fob, closed passenger door, got in driver's side, started car, drove home. NEXT MORNING: immediate shut off after starting, along w/ flashing immobilizer icon. Called VW's National Office, was told that it was a dealer issue. Went to an online VW forum; suggestion was to hook a battery charger to battery, then turn ignition to "on" position (not started, with all accessories OFF). Immobilizer icon flashed for about TEN MINUTES then went away. I then started vehicle and it seemed to run smoother than before I had this issue. There IS a diagnostic code for this issue (17978-Engine Start Blocked By Immobilizer), but apparently, the aforementioned procedure works.
I should also add, a month after I bought the car, the original key fob didn’t work at all. No buttons or anything. Replaced battery 3 times all that crap blah blah blah. So recently, I bought a new key, and I haven’t programmed it yet. Is that a maybe issue? And the original key broke off from the fob to. Thanks
My 01 jetta 2.8 VR6 does this. Starts up and runs, but dies. I reset the computer in every way possible. Took the battery off, touched the terminals for 10 seconds. Nope. Tried taking the terminals off for 10 minutes, putting back on then having the key on for 30 mins. WHAT THE HECK IS MY PROBLEM
Battery disconnect doesn't work, Try putting a charger on your battery, Turn ignition on for an hour, Worked for me.
02 new beetle cranking then immediately quitting running.
Removed both battery cables for a couple minutes,
reconnected, problem solved.
I saw another post where someone left the ignition on for a minute or so and that solved the problem. If mine does it again I'll try that before going to the trouble of removing cables.
I have a 97 carolla I picked up for $500. I take it 130km each way to work and back every day. Never a problem. Got my girlfriend an 02 Jetta nicely loaded for $1500. She drove it a handful of times now it does this. Guess I'll try some of the easier suggestions first but what I'm really learning is buy Japanese.
The video would have been helpful of you showed the scanning and diagnosing. The went out bought the cluster, installed, programmed, then started the car to to show us the car working.
Actually, the very first thing you do if this happen is check the voltage on your battery.. trust me on that one.
In reading others comments, some negative, I’m telling you it worked for me less than two hours ago. Disconnected cables from both post, cross connected the cables for maybe 5 seconds not touching the battery. The car started right up!
My car symptoms were:
1. Sister in law borrowed car and returned it while we are on vacation. When she parked it in the garage she left the key in the ignition completely discharging the battery. I have a aftermarket stereo that remains on when the key is in the ignition.
I charged the battery and the car fired right up but immediately died. The code reader gave code P0-321 so I replaced the sensor near the oil filter. No change. I followed the instructions found here and it absolutely worked first time!
Thank you! I had already replaced the crank sensor, checked fuses and dumbagnostics, then you tubed for the second time. This was the first video. Disconnected battery cables, waited a few minutes, reconnected cables and BAM! Fired right up!
Sister in law had left the key in the ignition and this ran the battery down.
THANK YOU!
