Hope friendly forum members can help with my request.

 

For health reasons, I've not been able to drive my vrs for the last five months.  All being well, I should be behind the wheel again end October.  Car has been garaged since easter and not moved an inch.

 

As expected the battery has gone flat and I cannot open the car via keyless technology!

 

In simple terms, how do I (a) get into the car and (b) recharge the battery.  Happy to buy a battery charger from Amazon if someone can direct me to the right make/model.

 

Great if someone can give me the a wee steer and what steps I need to take.

 

Obviously I have been focusing on improving my health over the summer.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

There is a key in your KESSY fob and on the drivers door handle, there's a small plastic cover at the back end of the handle that needs to be removed to exposed the lock. Just be careful not to scratch the paint.

To open the hood for access to the battery, you will need to gently bend the release lever out towards the centre of the car so that there is enough movement to clear the side trim. Skoda's 'simply clever' idea for RH drive vehicles 😒 The other option is to plug a 12 volt supply into the outlet to power up the central locking.

On my car it is the near side passenger door which has the removable plastic cover.

That's interesting - does the off-side door have one too?
