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
