hi car is 1995 A6 2.6 manual ,only key that came with it is a single button fob key,key part does not swing away into fob,it is solid like ye old keys we had before ,The remote part of course doesnt work(sods law),searched eBay,and have not seem one like it,would like to get remote working,especially as key is very stiff in the drivers door,have wd40d it oiled it -the lock that is- but it has made no diff,I opened fob up,checked battery voltage it is fine,but the IR bulb is missing hence no workie- checked the voltage across the bulb connectors and this give a voltage when you press button,this leads me to believe that if I could replace the IR bulb,remote would work again,(it is a push fit onto 2 connections no soldering )
anybody know if acquiring a bulb is possible,and why are there no 1995 keys available on eBay?? or is it that there are not many 95 A6s around?
or is it just me --Quite possible -senility can come at any age
thanks
Jim
