Just pull the main lead to the distributer, takes a few seconds to put back right and its unlikely any car thief will be carrying a spare.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostI explored the possibility of sneakily removing a relay to disable the car, but the manual does not disclose what they are for. The lid of the fuse box has no helpful hints either.
So I tried removing a roadwheel.Comment

ummm Durbs, it's a diesel.
SY01,
'So I tried removing a roadwheel. Even bouncing on the wheel brace I cannot budge the studs (19 stone), so I let a tyre down.
'
this must have been funny to watch for the neighbours, look the IT Guy cannot remove a wheel
ok, get a scaffold pole and put it on the end of the wheel brace to get more torque,
no better still,
sit down think again, easy tiger, slow down,
what about.....
1, jack the car up, jack up all four corners put them on bricks, that should slow down any potential thief, furthermore will not damage the tyres as letting them down may potentially damage
and now something really simply......
2, remove the battery
you can thank me later,

Ring the AA/RAC/VW.
Have your ignition system reset and the previous key removed from the acceptable key list stored in the ECU.
Then, sell the car.
