Hi,
have looked through various threads and can't find a specific answer and hoped someone may be able to help.
Went to my car today and unlocked it on the remote no problem, drove to work and left the car there unlocked. Got back in the car a few hours later, drove it again and when I got out the fob wouldn't lock the car. (Red light was on the fob though) So got a new battery on way home from work, put that in, still the same. Went to go to VW garage but it was closed when I got there but car locked this time, few more tries and it locked and unlcoked. Got home and it was back to not responding to the fob.
Went through the book to see if it needed re-coding iaw the service book, so I tried to do this and still the same. Locked it on the key and came to have a look at the forum. Went out to car to get something, had to open it on the key, then when I closed the car it locked on the fob?? Looked on this site, and went tho check passenger footwell to see if it was damp (some thoughts on it being comfort control panel?) and was able to open it and lock it on the fob. tried it a few more times and its intermittent.

Anyone have any ideas? Any would be appreciated.
Thanks

Remote locking is run via the ccm under passenger seat so a search under there for damaged wiring is always a good place to start.
