Hello all,

Still loving my Polo GTI but i have a little problem with the key. This morning it decided to fail, the car would not unlock and now a solid red light is on the key. I have tried changing the battery and the light flashes when i press unlock but the car doesnt unlock, the light then goes to a solid red light again. Any ideas??

Cheers

Charlie

Vw is the only way... :-( think it's like £70 occasionally transponders do loose their coding it's a pain in the ass as no one is really sure why.

Bummer.

Or if it's staring the car and not locking/unlocking there is a sequence to code it il see if I can find it out again... Try lupo forums aswell as
I know this happens with them
Also.

Do a quick search on the forums, I remember seeing a procedure on here that involved you putting the key in the door barrel and pairing it somehow. Or, just PM alex ;P

It tells you how to re-pair a key in the owners manual
