MORE ADVICE FROM THE 3D TEAM
Car: Audi/Seat/Skoda/VW from 1995 Fault: Intermittent start and Fault on diagnostics ‘Key signal too low’ Cause: Car intermittently fails to start Location: Ignition Barrel area Repair: Usually the tran- sponder reader is at fault. On early cars you can buy this part separately seperetly. On most cars after 1998 it is part of the ignition barrel itself. Once part is replaced no pro- gramming is needed.
Car: Citroen Xsara 2001-2004 Fault: Central locking but- tons bounce with remote key usage. Cause: Locking actuators failure on one of the doors Location: Any one of the doors or boot. Repair: Diagnose which door which is at fault with a diag- nostic machine. Replace part and fault should be repaired.
