imy300 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 i wonder if any1 can help me out, i've a got a remote key the one's with the chip on the actual key. Problem is the remote locking/unlocking dosnt work, i though it was the battery but i had that changed and it still dosnt work. I was thinking maybe it needs to be set again. Does any1 know how to do this ? 98/99 Passat 1.8 SE 20v I cant find my manual to have a look in. thanks for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthecat1 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Press either the open or close button once on the key fob for about one second. Nothing will happen and the car will remain locked/open. The control unit will however recognise the key code. Now unlock/lock the door by placing the key in the door and turning it. By doing this a new code will heve been defined between the control and the key. It should now have a new code and be syncronised. Done. If it doesn't work, feel free to be pi55ed off.

felixthecat1 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Okay, lets's see. You have changed the battery and reset the code, and still nothing. That leaves us with limited options. I'm assuming it can't be the fuse. Check to see if the boot light is working, or indeed any interior light, I think they are mostly off the same fuse. It's a small 10A, red fuse. You have to go to VAG for one it's not a halfords job. If it's not that them I'm out. You might have to go to a stealer. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
