I have to use my key to unlock the car before I can open the door.

So what is the problem with that someone will ask. Well, I use to open it by pressing the button on the key remote and the car doors would unlock.

Even the red light next to the buttons in the remote control with the key comes on when you press the button.

This has now failed on both sets of keys. I have tried various re-programming suggestions based on the Octavia and Fabia suggestion. However, no luck with that.

So without heading down to the local dealer and parting with my hard earned cash. (£130inc VAT for 2 new remote unlockers at £40 each & 30 minutes labour), is there anything I else can do or check?

I have checked the batteries on teh remotes and they are fine. I have also disconnected the battery for 15 minutes and that has not cured it.

I do intend to keep this car for another 4-5 years, so I intend to get this sorted.

Your advices would all be very much appreciated.

Thanking you all in advance

Happy Driver
