Hi guys

On saturday i took a trip to my local halfords, so everything as normal i turn the engine off, get out and close the door. when i pressed the lock button on the fob it wouldnt lock at all, no noise or anything. but then i pressed the unlock button and it unlocks. firstly i thought that the fob might be faulty so i went home got my other fob and its exactly the same. so now i have to manually lock the doors and boot which is a pain in the rear end. how can this be fixed by myself, or is it a case of back to the dealers?

I think you need to re learn your keys.

Put one key in ignition and turn untill red lights on, but don't start. Other key in door lock, lock and unlock using key.

See if that works, if not, stealership time for ecu interrogation.

cool, thanks john, its gone in for list of jobs today, lol, they are as follows

central locking faulty
interior light faulty
passenger door electric window bangs
leaking water behind the dashboard on passenger side
tracking WELL out

the dealer is fixing them all for me, and as a supposed top VW & merc dealer they have given me a totally outrageous courtesy car...... old old old jap crap mitsubishi galant poo.

There's no car faster than a courtesy car whatever it is

It will feel good getting back in the Golf when you take it back though.

Thrash it! It's not yours!!

yea lol. i started it when i finished work and my boss said the same thrash it, so from cold i revved it to the limiter and dumped the clutch with the handbrake on and wow wee lots of pretty tyre smoke. erm it was an accident officer.

drive it like ya stole it!!!!
