Dear sir,
Vin Number= SJC11003924
Engine Number= MR18011273A
Model Number= BDSARHZC11EDA
Description of the Problem:
I bought the car recently from a garage in Windhoek. The car was starting and moving fine just the battery of the key was flat and the front fenders had small dents. Therefore, I had to open the door manually with the key. I changed the battery of the car key and now the car was opening and closing using lock and unlock buttons on the key. Still starting and moving fine. I took the car to panel beater to fix the fenders and they did. I went to collect the car and it was still running fine. I collected the car and the guy asked me to bring for polish next morning when I go to work and I did so. When I went to collect the car, the guy drove from the yard to outside. I started the car and as soon as I put the car in reverse it died. I tried to start, the car was cranking but not starting. All the lights are coming on. The panel beater asked me to leave the car there. They removed the battery terminals and left the car like that the whole afternoon. When I went to collect the car after work, it started in the first crank. I drove for almost 5 KM without any problem when the engine light and others came on as car died. It didn’t start after that although cranks. I towed the car to a local mechanic who checked and found everything to be okay( such as battery, fuses, fuel pump etc) and declared that he thinks there might be a problem with immobiliser but the key opens and closes the doors. He opened the key also and told me that the key doesn’t have any chip.
Your assistance will be highly appreciated
