My MK3 Immobiliser keyfob battery has gone weak ... I had it replaced around 3-4 months ago and its already run out again. Went to VW today they said they dont do em any more ...

So what the hell am I supposed to do now? haha

Anyway, I managed to take a pic of it ... any one know the size of the battery? And what its called. It says 6B on the plastic holding all the batteries together but I done a google search and cant find anything, I think its defo called something else. Im hoping some one knows the size.

Thanks in advance ... and pic attached below!

Try an internet search for battery shops. We have one in Swindon that will match any battery or make it for you!
I suspect that they wont be the only one of that type in the Country!

Maplins don't do em.

But I found the battery ... their 4/393 size.

Bought one off ebay for £5 so I ordered two instead as I would of paid £10 any way ... keep one as spare.
