the signal was getting very weak on my central locking remote so i changed the batteries and now it dosn't work. the light still flashes on the remote but it does nothing to the car. key works fine. any ideas??
man that sucks m8
I got an idea. In my polo under the Passenger side Glove box, Check the roof of the footwell should be like a foam roof. Pull that down and ur alarm system might be there. I have a load of wiring there and there is a circuit board with a button on. If yours is the same try pressing that button and ur remote button might reset it all for u.
that sucks dude. mine starting to fade too, i was gonna try the battery but after reading ur post i think i might leave it. have you had any further developments on it?
Sounds like you left the batteries out of the remote for too long, resulting in the memory being wiped.
You will need to have it reprogrammed, costs a s**t load from VW as well
yeh thats exactly what i was worried would happen, i took it into curries to ask if they had the batteries and the bint had it out for ages. How much is a **** load roughly? Is thre any other way?
VW quoted me £80 to program the transponder, hope that helps. You will need to take the car with you, identity and vehicle registration documents if VW are doing it.
Maybe try another battery as batteries fade away slowly after time, might be a crappy battery replacement?
yeh but he just replaced the batteries so the transponder should still be on the same frequency ...im still new to polos but not new to to the 6n base ...ive had a 1.4 ibiza and 2.016v gti ibiza and they both required you to reprogram via this procedure:
~~sit in the car with the doors closed and the car unlocked
1. Insert key into ignition & turn once. (so the car doesnt start but power is on)
2. Turn ignition off take the key out...
3. Hold the lock button pressed while pressing unlock button three times.
~~you should now hear your central locking locking itself meaning its worked!! ....however if it dosnt work then try try again, either your pressing the buttons too fast or too slow or not following the procedure.
hey joe...i sort of have the same problem....i press the central locking button the lights flashes but it doesnt lock!...however it does turn the alarm on...but before it would lock aswel...have you got the same problem?
