Audi A3 parking brake problem - what to do?

Hi, I own a 2000 Audi A3 with a gasoline engine and 270,000 km on it. My car starts for a moment and then shuts off again. My son's car had the immobilizer activated, and we only have one key. The engine code is AKL. The ECU is Siemens 06A 906 019 BS, Simos2.1B 3125, 5WP4451 03. The instrument cluster is VDO 110.208.944/006, Audi 8L0 920 900 CX. What can we do to solve this problem? Thanks for your help! Regards, Pasi Jämsén 0442606227.

Check if the immobilizer light on the dashboard is flashing when the car shuts off. If it is, the immobilizer might be preventing the engine from staying on. Try using a different key if possible, or check if the key you have is damaged or has a low battery if it's a remote key. If the issue persists, you may need to have the immobilizer system checked by a professional. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
