Error code P1260 - Immobilizer - 2008 2.0d Sport
« on: February 26, 2014, 06:10:34 pm »
Hi All
It seems my car has this error. The car does not start. It tries to turn over but never starts.
Is this common for this issue and is there a way to reset the immobilizer without going to dealer?

I have tried both keys as well.

Its a 2008 2.0d Sport
Thanks

I got the AA out yesterday and it turns out that the issue is with the EGR valve. He gave it a clean and ended up blocking it off and the car starts.
