hi there,
ive had my car for about 7 months,the car always needed opened via the key into the drivers door(only the driver door opens when i do this,is this normal?)as the remote part of the key fob was broke.i got the car put on a diagnostics machine by a VAG specialist and he told me i would need to goto audi and get a new fob and get them to code it to the car as he said faults came up concerning the central locking sysytem and he wouldnt be able to look at it without knowing where to start.anyways,i got my new key fob from audi(i had to buy the whole key as my old key had broke and was held together by epoxy)so that cast me £117 for the key and was quoted another £100 to code the key and remote to the car.
they coded the key ok but came back to me and said they couldnt get the fob to work stating there was a problem(maybe the pump)that was stopping the remote from working with my car...anyway they charged me £75 because of this..
so has anyone experianced any issues like this..ive checked the fuses for the central locking and there fine..
the car will only fully unlock when i put the key into the ignition and turn it into the first position...so would the pump be the problem here or the ecu...is the ecu part of the pump or is it a seperate item?
plus when i was looking through my fuses i notived my alarm(7.5amp)fuse had blown so i replaced that but my alarm wont come on when i lock the car..do i need to get that hooked up to a diagnostics machine to get that running again too?
if anyone can help in anyway i'd trully appreicate it..
i dont fancy giving audi anymore of my hard earned money in a hurry lol
thanks
