  1. To be continued..I've ordered the blanks with the transponder and I'll give it a try with only the manufacturer's steps.

    Plus I opened one of the keys that I have and separate the key from the transponder...that with the remote fob will be installed in a key&fob (one body) soon as I receive them.

    Unfortunately, as previous stated, I can't upload pictures, but I'll post links and step by step instructions, if it works.

  2. Hoping someone out there can help! I drove my voyager today no issues, parked up back at home went to use it 2 hours later & nothing, its as dead as a dodo. 

    code flashes up p1130, need to find a garage asap as going on holiday next week. Does anyone know a suitable garage near Nuneaton?

    Here's hoping!!!!

    Hi, I checked on my autodata version that I have, no P1 codes ( weird but there isn't any with starting with P1), but after googling I found the fallowing:

    Please see the link above, and after finally having fixed the problem, please add it so the readers will have an idea for the future.

    Thank you.

     

    Hope it helps.

  3. As usual I cannot upload a picture, so I will type the information I want to share with others:

     

    To reprogram a key, it is referring to the ignition key and not to the remote fob, the fallowing must be done:

     

    Note, two programmed keys necessary

     

    • using the first programmed key, switch ignition on and off within 15 sec
    • using the second programmed key, switch ignition on and off within 15 sec
    • programming mode activated ( acoustic signal should be heard)

     

    proceed as fallows completing the step within 50 sec

    • insert key to be programmed into ignition switch
    • switch ignition on and off
    • within 10 sec single acoustic  signal will be heard and immobiliser led stops flashing and illuminates for 3 seconds to indicate correct programming
    • repeat complete procedure to program remaining keys ( this I'm not sure if it means from the beginning or from "inserting the key to be programmed" as I still have to try it)
    • a maximum of 8 keys can be added.

    I'll add more info once I have done mine, good practice to have more spare keys.

     

    Obviously the above steps does not help if a key is lost, or the only key is lost for that matter, but once you paid 140... or more to have one, it is very useful to know this to save some money for the future.

     

    Hope it helps.

  4. Hi, you only asked for a mechanic in your area, I am far from there but still if I may

     

    how long you have the car for, did it start after charging the battery, or did it start at all after that?

    Do you have the dash lighting up, can you use any of the electrics?

     

    If you have power but not cracking, try inspecting the starter, an easy fix is bang it with the handle of a hammer(or a piece of wood), if after that gives signs that it crancks the starter needs fixed/replaced.

     

    If after charging or replacing the battery started, is that you left some electrics turned on and drained the battery...on this there is more to it, you might have a fault in wiring that does it, or depending on the model, it can be that when the key is removed from the ignition, is on ACC1 but in that case takes more than few hours to drain the battery.

     

    Moreover, if the alternator is faulty, you might have run the car on battery and now is flat.

     

    Add more symptoms and someone should be able to give you a diagnostic.

     

    Hope it helps.

  5. So, if you want a second key..well either way you don't need main dealer for this, any mobile mechanic( a decent one obviously) with a good ecu software can do this... You need a virgin chip and a new key cut to size. If you want a remote fob, you first need to know the type you need.

    If your car comes with powered doors the remote has 5 buttons( or 6 if it comes with the panic option, or find car option). That can be a second hand one, as long as no one added more remotes to it, you can add up to four ( some models may vary), if indeed four remotes had been paired to the module previously, a good programmer should be able to reset it, when I say programmer I mean white hat ( or black hat for that matter, or as they are called hackers), I never done it, but I spoke about it with other people.

    The easiest way is to buy an alarm module with two keys already, being a separate "brain" from the ecu, it should work.

     

    Hope it helps.

  6. To bad you're far from me, I would've sort it out in an hour...

    Hope you get it sort it at the end.

     

    P.S before investing in parts, make sure that's at fault, to me it sounds like a short, positive to ground or vice versa, I'm not sure on your model but for testing purposes you could swap the mechanisms between them, the front door ones, it should have the same plugs. If the one on the driveraide works on the other door is not that.

  7. Check the sound amplifier at the back of the car, very rarly but sometimes the connections become loose, same can happen behind the stereo.

    The worse case scenario, one of the speakers has a fault with a wire and by touching the other(or a body part if is the positive) it shorts the sound output, is a long shot as if that would be the case probably the sound won't come back on, however in some occasions the stereo resets itself and sound comes back.

     

    Anyway, first thing to do, take radio out, check if when the radio comes on the sound output sends signals.

     

    Hope it helps.

  8. To do the turbo and/or egr is not a cheap deal, you could remove them and clean them properly,inspect the pipes for dirt and debris, watch for play in the turbo. It is a good practice to replace them but mind the costs, plus the English say: if is not broken don't fix it.

     

    Plus faults related to turbo or egr are very notable, black smoke if they're blocked, white smoke if they leak and absorb the oil into the engine.

     

    Hope it helps.

  9. I have just checked the Autodata and the code you gave is related to boost sensor but the suggestion is wiring, you saying it is new, I assume the fault was investigated before however, try the fallowing:

     

    pin 1 and 4, with engine idling you should have 1.6V

    pin 1 and 4 with engine at 2500rpm, it should read 2V.

    The above test is to check the signal

    Let us know the results and we will see from there.

     

    Hope it helps.

  10. There is a back up battery in the alarm module, try that plus if this cars don't get enough current through it will send a signal to the ecu, I started mine ( grand voyager but same concept really) by replacing the battery with a new one.

    Leave the positive and negative connected for a while before fitting new battery.

     

     

    Hope it helps.
