Hi all

Just purchased a Skoda Fabia on 58 plate ( Tdi 80 )

Was advised that this model doesnt have a key fob to control the Central locking/alarm

So have to lock/unlock car with the key it self.

My question is:

Is that correct that no key fob is available for this model?

When locking the car, you turn the key anti clocwise first

To open the car door, have to turn the key clockwise twice. Is that how it should be?

Next issue is when inside the car and press the central locking button near the gear stick, when lock it and then unlocking it,

The driver side door does not open. Like its dead lock. however rest of the car doors open. The driver side door doesnt open from inside or out. Even when on ignition mode or with the engine on or even after driving it. Got to leave it for a while and then just opens. What could be cause of that?

By sounds of the above scenerio, is there an issue with the central locking system or am i doingg something incorrect

Any help and advice would be appreciated

Thanks

I have the 'level 2' Fabia Estate 1422cc PD TDI 80. I have a remote locking keyfob. What level is yours? If it's a 2 or 3 you should have the keyfob. Maybe if it's the level 1 you don't get that, but I would think even the level 1 should have it. I don't really use my key so can't comment too much on how to use it, but I do know you have to do some twiddly stuff with the key to arm and disarm the alarm if you are not using the keyfob, which you are obviously doing. My guess is that someone has lost the keyfob/s (it should have at least 2 of them when new). Did you buy it from a Skoda dealer?

Hi

I think mine is the leval 1, which is pretty sure doesnt come with the Key fob that means

No was bought from a private sale

Sounds like it never had a fob (Level1) and that there is something wrong with the controller/lock on the drivers side.

will plugging into VAG machine diagnose the problem? Can the centtral locking be reset via the VAG?
