So, turns out Superhero572 was right. Replaced the battery in my spare, ad voila, all sorted. So that that just leaves the issue of a busted original key. Worry for another day I think. Thanks for the help!

Hi, thanks for the reply. No, I don't have Keyless entry. It's a bog standard VAG key, with the three buttons (lock, unlock, and boot). But I will check the battery in my spare just oin case. Thanks

Hi, I have used the search function I promise! There was either nothing that had my exact fault(s), or threads with no close out/resolution. My key fob(s) is now not functioning for the remote central locking, and I have to open close the car with the key. There is no light on the fobs when I press the buttons. So about a month ago I got the battery low warning, so I replaced it. No issues. Came back yesterday, but just once. Then later on in the day, the fob just wouldn't work. No light. I kinda assumed the key was knackered, as I have a bad habit of continually opening and closing the key, and thought I might have damaged the pcb, or a joint. I came home, and then tried the spare to lock the car. This worked fine, and the car locked. But when I came to get in the car today, the spare is now doing the same as the original. ie no light and dead. A lot of the threads suggest the convenience module, but none of them mention no light on the key. The only thing I saw was someone said the radio unit in the key was damaged for them, but seems like a stretch for both of them to go on mine in a day. Could the module "wipe" the key, and mean the light doesn't even flash? Many thanks in advance, and apologies for joining with a question. Gus
