Re: Keyless entry fault
Is the fault apparent with both keys or just one? You might hsve a dodgy key (or duff battery) rather than spmething attached to the car being defective. Recognition of me using the handle to lock/unlock the car is a bit hit or miss with mine - but no fault indicated with the car.

Re: Keyless entry fault
Regarding the recognition, I discovered on my Audi with keyless that when touching the square sensor on the handle to lock the car, you should keep your hand off the handle otherwise it struggles to recognise you.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 1:40 pm Is the fault apparent with both keys or just one?

When unlocking, there’s a very brief delay when placing your hand on the handle before it unlocks. No touching of the sensor required.

Re: Keyless entry fault
Yes both keys produce same results (or lack of) until yesterday keyless entry was working perfectly, never had any issues.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 1:40 pm Is the fault apparent with both keys or just one?

Re: Keyless entry fault
could be anything really. faulty kessy module, faulty antenna, faulty button.
i'd suggest to get a diagnostic device (or find someone that has one) and ask the module what's wrong. usually it will tell you quite quickly what the problem is.

Re: Keyless entry fault
It's booked in next Wednesday so will wait to see what they find, strange thing had four people in the car last night, everything is working normal again, thinking back on when it first developed the fault I was going over uneven ground and car was bouncing a bit, could something be loose?
