The only thing you can do is take your id and car regristration to the vw dealer and they will have to make you a new key i ust did this to my 2003 vw last night

There may not be any other way to fix it except to replace your instrument panel. That's where your immobilizer is located. Or you could try this:
Try cold-booting the car. Remove both battery cables from the battery.
Short the battery cables together (away from the battery) for about 15
seconds. Reconnect the battery. No guarantees - I found this info at tdiclub.com.
If im not mistaken,your car should have an alarm reset/override.Below the steering column,on the dash should be a slot where you put your remote transmitter to deactivate the alarm.If that works,you then need to have your remote checked and coded by a vw dealer.Good luck.
worn coil pack? its a problem with some golfs type worn coil pack golf tdi on google and you should see everything on it. i think theres an uprated set out now don't quote me on it tho!
You didn't say how you got round this problem when it happened - did you keep on trying or go away and come back later? I'm thinking you may have an immobiliser issue with the ignition key not being read correctly by the detector coil in the steering column. Did you use the same key on both occasions, and did you open the car remotely or manually?
