Replacing Key Battery

[markos69]

Is this as simple as opening the casing and replacing the battery, or can it affect the key code.

Let me to return to the key programming problems. I have read all the posts here concerning this issue.

 

Firstly, may I understand that the code for remote locking/unlocking has nothing to do with the code for immobiliser? Or there is one common code for both systems?

 

If I will use the "door programming procedure" may it affect the immobiliser?

 

If I will change the battery in the remote will it bring risc that I will not be able to restart my car?

 

Being rather confused now.....

 

I have 2 keys for my Tdi 2001, one remote and one common. The remote one does not work as remote. What shall I do? Change the battery or try the door procedure?

 

Cheers, V.

Fredt,

 

thanks a lot. I think that you just made a lot of things clear!

 

Sincerely, I appreciate pretty much all your very valueable posts in this Forum!

PS: if you will have time, could you have a look at "cruise control" in the technical section?

Hi All again,

 

this post should be placed in the technical section already.....

 

I did the "door programming procedure" but have not succeed yet get remote key working.

 

It looks that the receiver does not see my remote key....

 

I can enter the programming mode, the door LED stays ON, the remote key LED flashes but the door LED is not flashing to confirm my programming success!

 

I deduce the receiver unit in the car is down.

 

I have face lifted TDi with radio remote. Where is placed the receiver?

Is it in the door close to the rear mirror? If so I guess the wires are broken in the door boot (one of the most frequent problems - unfortunately non-solvable by manufacture)?
