My Vw key fob stopped working can open the car manually try change of battery stil not working?

went back to vw who changed the battery they are saying its prob the remote and then it will need reprograming any suggestions??My Vw key fob stopped working can open the car manually try change of battery stil not working?VW are probably correct. If the battery is completely discharged there is only one (expensive) solution. Around 拢40 from a dealer.

I had a similar problem (but the car also had problems starting) which was just solved with a liberal application of oil in the ignition barrel (which solved the starting problem, but also caused the remote fob to start working again). My remote is an after market one, so was not fitted from new. Not sure if this helps, but worth a try before you fork out for new stuff that may not work!

Looks like loads of people have had the same problem, try these. On the first one you may need to read the comments also as there is some additional info on there.



Hope you get it sorted!!
It happened to me. I was told that the push button had worn out and I needed a new key as the garage checked the code and they said it was o.k. The key would cost around 拢40 and the programming would cost another 拢40 so needless to say I stuck with unlocking the car manually.
i have the same problem with my dub the key and phob need reprogrammed

hope this helps garry
That's what it needs...programming.
