How do you start 1998 Clio with immobilizer problem?

Answer 1

i have a 1998 s plate clio 1.4 rt and when i bought it the thing would not start because the car had been broken into and had the window wiper and indicator stalks broken off which locked on the immobilizer i paid Renault 130 for a new key and had it reprogrammed to the car by a Renault engineer whom i had to pay on the side to bring the equipment out to my car as it would have cost me a small fortune to transport the car to a Renault garage and after reprogramming the key tha car started first time until the third attempt after which the problem reoccurred so the enginner told me that i needed a new ecu unit which is the brain of the immobilizer and it would cost over 300 to have mine replaced and installed by Renault but he would do it on the side for me for 50 at his house if i went and got a new ecu from Renault or a breakers yard which i did and it turned out to be the wrong one that the breaker gave me from a w plate 1.2 rn so i was left with another loss of 85 this time then i came across these guys immobilserunlock or automotiveelectrics but i went to the first guys both of them do the same thing which is an immobilizer unlock pod which goes straight onto the diagnostics plug located under the ashtray at the gearstick and voila my car runs all the time with the new key i bought from Renault which would have become useless had i installed a new ecu to my car all you do is tell them the pin number from inside your key fob and they send it the next day and away you go the providing your Renault has the aerial at the front of the car which a 1998 has then your ok as they cant help you if its at the back like the newer models
