Andy's mk4 votex 1.8 Turbo

How would the car park block the signal when he's standing next to the car?

Not sure but I have seen it happen so it is possible

Thanks for the replies, the spare fob did nothing so taped up the window and smashed it. reached in and got it out of gear, ignition on and vroom she fired up! unlocked doors with the button on the drivers doorcard and i was in. took window out completely and cleaned up glass off the car park and i was away! and it just had to rain didnt it   anyway car now home, original locks refitted and car locked up for the night. new window being picked up tomorrow 20quid, cant tell you what a relief it is to get it home. no buttons on any of the fobs do anything now, will disconnect the battery for an hour tomorrow then retry but im not holding my breath. noticed once home, neither door when open makes interior light come on. all fuses ok though. any ideas? thanks very much for all the advice.

Check in the owners manual how to reprogramme the remote locking.  Sometimes they lose the link if blipped and out of range of the car, or just flat batteries.  Think there is also a how to in the tech section in Mk4

Ah the joys of MK4's.

Stick one key in the ignition on, put the other into the drivers door, window down, turn to locking position and oush lock on both fobs.

IIRC.

well after the joys of the lock issue, and fitting a new window going to plan,  ive decided to carry on in preparation of the turbo conversion. i was going to get injectors, MAF and braided oil lines made up this month, but after a boring morning led me to ebay ive ended up buying a twin pass intercooler, mikalor clamps, and also reducers and couplings from siliconhoses.com . its a job ive kept putting off due to the fitment issues people have, but decided front mount is the only worthwhile option. am i right in saying AGU's dont have a map sensor built into the sidemount intercooler?

You are correct in saying so buddy

[andyj775]

thanks mate, im replicating your 50mm diameter pipe that you replaced the pancake pipe with. dreading the intercooler fitting but has to be done!

[golf-sib]

Thanks.

Inter coolers not that bad, I stuck with 50mm piping and ditched the pancake system/route altogether, I instead ran the piping 90degress out the turbo to the passengers side and over the gear linkage, so the pipe went on the passengers side into the intercooler, then out the intercooler straight to the TB (so it was on the correct side for the TB.

Seems like you had some fun time recently!    Good to see it's sorted now.
