Hi I have a 2005 VW polo starts then immediately shuts down after a few seconds, immobiliser light is flashing on dashboard, have tried keeping key in ignition for up to 30 mins, connecting positive & negative terminals together, tried charging battery.
No fault codes seen on diagnostics reader.
Anyone else come across a similar issue?

Have you tried sparekey?
Flashing immobiliser light means no correct handshake.
No correct handshake, no running engine.
Engine dies within a second

Try holding one key closer to the keyhole, whilst starting with the other.
Maybe the coil doesn't pick up the immo transponder data
