Hi - I needed to change the key fob battery but somehow dislodged the spring that holds the key in the fob.

Anybody got any ideas how to get a new mechanism?

I seem to have lost a tiny part that holds the spring in place.

See attachment.

 

Thanks.

Scrappies, probably. The key is common to many later VW/Seats as well. A1 German Breakers in Oldham? Germanbitz in Bolton?

Thanks.

Have you still got the "spring" ? if so just glue it in with something like superglue

I actually lost the spring in one of my keys.

I solved the problem by buying a nice cover on Amazon that holds everything together.

Hi all - thanks for the replies.

I think something has actually snapped off, so I can't get the spring to lie exactly as it should.

 

I've got the cover on, so at least it shouldn't be too much of a problem until I change the battery again.

 

The fob cover may be my best long term option.

 

 

Paul.

 

I find that these are brilliant, dirt cheap from AliExpress and they make the key very grippy and resistant to dirt, dust and splash proof 

Hi - eventually found a video explaining how to put the spring in properly...

 

Great!
