Hi

remote locking just ceased, but key still works. It is the large keyfob with the key that swings into the side and is released by a button, like all the VW group.

Hopefully it is either (1) a flat keyfob battery or (2) the keyfob being operated out of sight of the car. I have tested for (2) by locking the car, pressing the "undo" button on the fob, and then opening the door. No change. I hope I have the correct sequence.

I need to check (1). No effect on the TV when I try the remote in front of it. Need to take the battery out, but how?

Thanks guys. Fabia-vrs.com - Key Coding was just what I wanted.

The diagram made it simpler.

Spare fob battery down to .4V, used one was 2.9V. Gave up and put them together, and the used one worked!!

Cars, doncha love them. Will get a pair of new batteries in the week
