Hi,
During the last couple of days I've noticed that when I leave the car (A4 1.9TDI 2003) and try to lock it with the remote fob, nothing happens. The only way to remedy it seems to be switching on the ignition again (not engine), then off again. Then it seems to work (have I by chance re-synched it by doing this?). Any ideas what's causing this? Dodgy door contacts? The fob (+spare) were resynched a couple of months ago. My other theory is the mobile. It says in the manual that it can interfere with the central locking. I tend to have it placed in the pocket near the handbrake. Of course now I'm using a hands-free earphone thingy which might make the problem worse because of the wire properties!
I'm looking into going bluetooth but again that might interfere too.
Cheers.
