A Unique Situation

Met with a unique situation late week that I thought we should share.

We had a customer of a Toyota Alphard (hmm...we have been having many toyota alphards customers in recent weeks, some must be wondering why? :) This is because, many toyota alphards are actually imported and sold second hand, such cars on many occasion come with only 1 set of keys).

This customer had problem starting his car. The ignition was dead, literally. Many mechanics went to his house to check on the car and came to different conclusion on the problem and he spent some money but still could not rectify his problem. The mechanics came to a final conclusion that it was his immobiliser that was giving problems (his was Clifford-quite a reputable brand). The clifford technicians came but still could not rectify the problem. And this was Day 4 since his ignition went dead.

We were called in on the 4th day. We manage to identify and rectify the problem (with the help of some friends plus quite a bit of luck! :) ).

It was ... THE DOG.

lol. Believe it or not. The owner's dog, a small little terrier, who loved to go beneath the car, rain or shine) also had a little hobby of biting off the wires! Incidentally, one of the wires he bit was connected to the ECU that supplied power to the fuel pump!

[we could not take photo of the situation, coz the owner was a little mad about the situation....and we understood why...]

We will soon be adding a price list of our services and keys on to the blog. But it will take some time due to the sheer number of of makes and models of cars. Meanwhile, do bear with us or call us for a quote in case of an emergency.

BMW X5 - Idling Remote

The remote settings for the key control was 'flashed' and 'blanked' after left idling for more than 6 months. We had to read the coded information from the ECU and re-program the codes into the control. BMWs and VWs chip keys have this unique technology where the battery on the key is automatically charged when inserted into the ignition. So if you want to save the trouble and $$$ of replacing or re-programming your keys, make sure you practice alternate use of your spares.

Toyota Alphard - Master Key Lost

A nightmare awaited the owner of this car when he discovered that he has lost his master key after losing his spare. The entire process took more than 4 hours to complete to reset and duplicate new set of keys for him.
