I had problems with my only key after changing the batterys in it. Try locking with the key, then unlocking. Worked for me  :smiley:

did you swap everything over? make sure you didnt crack the immobliser chip (cant see it stopping locking working but never know)

in that case ide try recoding it, think its something along the lines of put one key in the ignition and lock the doors but im sure someone who knows for definate will be along shortly, in the mean time have a google, sure there will be something on vwvotex or ukmkivs or here

Edit: just checked it's doable with tacho

ive been told i need a second key to recode i.e one for the ignition & one for the door but i only have the one!!
dont know if i could get the blank blade that come with the new case cut and use that in the ignition and the recode mine in the door??
