MK7 REMOTE CENTRAL LOCKING PROBLEM

Post by midgos »

I recently bought a mk7 polo 1.2s which comes with remote central locking. Since ive had the car the remote locking has never worked but when i put the key in it locks all the doors so the central locking is working. I thought the key might need a new battery so i have put one in but still can not lock the car remotely. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Cheers Jake

The key may need re programing.

Do you have a 3 button flip key?

Its a 1 button key which does not fold away. just has a vw logo in the middle which can be pressed down. If it does need reprogramming is that something i can do myself??

Afraid it doesn't have remote locking then mate, the button just turns on a light in the key fob so that you can see the lock hole to put the key into.

I got an after market remote kit fitted for £80, best mod I ever did!
