Answers:
I HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND AN AA PATROLMAN HELPED..YOU CAN RECODE THE FOB YOUR SELF
TURN THE IGNITION TO ON BUT DO NT START THE CAR PRESS THE BUTTON THREE TIMES TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN TRY BUTTON.IF THIS DOES NOT WORK CONTACT THE AA OR A AA PATROLMAN AND CHECK WITH THEM
Are you sure you are pointing it at the right car?
you will need to go back to the dealers once you remove the batteries the fob will lose its memory, they should change them each service visit???
it will need coding, will cost extra. every car is different take it to dealer and they will reprogramme it for ya
see my answer when you asked same question a few minutes ago . that should do the trick .
i think you may need to reset the system-safety thing after everybattery change it needs to be done, look it up in the manuel
You'll need to go to a V.W dealership, and they will reprogramme the key
try removing batteries from fob,hold down each button for a few seconds,this discharges the fob then refit batteries again and try,
if this fails try holding down the unlock button for say 20 secs,
if this fails try holding down a button with the ignition switched on,i guess you only have one key if you have two try the other one,if all this fails you are in trouble,make sure the cars battery is o.k.before you seek professional help,good luck.
Does the fob have any kinda lil light on it? If it does and this lights up when pressing the buttons then u can rule out the remote batts and most likely the remote itself! Does the central locking work under normal operation (i.e without the fob)? Assuming car batt ok?
If fob lights up and central locking works without fob your looking at receiver unit or programming between the two.
If not its either central locking itself (sticky motor etc) or the remote!
If you still suspect the remote dont go main dealer (loadsa wonga) take it to a high street shop, like a auto alarm place. A lot of them have started recoding remotes etc now! They can also test the remotes operation by checking for the signal it gives out! If your in uk your friendly AA man has the equip to check for a signal but not to re prog!
Hope sum of that is helpful to u!
