Good morning guys.
Pls I use Volkswagen Passat 2007 model and recently I started noticing 'immobilizer active' on the dashboard. Whenever this comes on, the car won't start.

I will have to wait for like 10 minutes and sometimes I have to remove battery terminal so it can start.

I have only one key and the chip inside is intact, never fallen from my hand before.

Pls anyone with an advise...will really appreciate.

First step i would advice is you scan the vehicle. Especially the immobilizer module to see what error codes are stored there.
Eventually you might need to reprogramme the vehicle however thats maybe...
There is possibly a communication fault between your key and the immobilizer or the immobilizer and the pcm etc....

Good Evening. I need your advice. I use a Hyundai accent 2014 model. The EPS light ha refused to go off despite several attempt by different mechanics to work on it. The current mechanics says the error message is now detecting the colon (not sure about the spelling) under the steering. Pls who can I talk to. Pls help! The history of this issue is too long to type. God bless you as you respond. I have been seeing the name of Gazzus and Autotech in threads.

Where in the bonnet, usually has water?

The radiator...........

Open your bonnet, start your engine, when engine achieves maximum temperature, check where the kettle is boiling from (keep an eye on your temperature gauge).....

A few things could be wrong, let's hope it's not your head gasket waving bye bye.............. wink

Have you had vehicle scanned? Did you buy it brand new? Did you run a vin check? Does vehicle have an accidented history? Is your power steering performing optimally or like a manual steering system?.....

I would like to understand something, when you say mechanics have worked on it, what do you mean? Did they carry out a thorough scan on the system? I believe there should be a module responsible for monitoring and controlling d EPS. If not previously done, kindly scan and post codes as a first step to your diagnosis.
Also what other symptoms have you observed?
Stiff steering? Whining Noise when you turn?
Kindly provide these info so we can help better.

When you hear dis boiling water noise have you openee the bonnet to check?
Off my head you could possibly have an overheating problem.if the noise is from the radiator or expansion tank, then you sure have an overheating issue.
If so you will need to get your cooling system checked
Possible causes;
Head gasket might be blown
Radiator cover might have failed
You might have a leak somewhere
Etc...

Kindly inspect and revert

Good Evening My Husband has been the person working with the mechanic. The current mechanic scanned it but I don't have information on the codes

The steering is not stiff, no noise from the steering
The EPS light comes on, temperature gauge, rpm and gear signs go off.
The car begins to move very slow.. Also AC goes off.
I will show this feedback to him and get back to you. Thank you

We can tell you one of them, rear lights/brake light burnt/faulty......... Get someone sit in the car, push all pedals, turn all rear lights on, engage reverse gear, rear fog etc etc and stand at the rear to observe......

Why are you driving with full beam?..... cheesy

Anyone that claims to tell you the other one, is most likely from Edo state........ grin

Get your vehicle scanned........ Invest in an OBD11 scanner (they are cheap devices to own). Anyone without a scanner, should be driving a vehicle from the 70's....... wink
