The Monk 50 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi guys and girls.Owned the B5 passat since June. Factory alarm as far as I know.July/August, I noticed that every so often, I had to get quite close to the car to unlock/lock.Last month I found that on occasion the fob or car just refused to unlock/lock. A bit of a tap on the fob did the job. Then every other day I had to do the same thing.Tonight, the car will not lock, unlock and I've checked the battery voltage, fuse and all are fine. Checked the C/L pump to make sure it hadn't burnt out and that was fine.Fob light flashes everytime I press it.Just wandered what the issue could be or anyone had similar experiences. fyi, the battery has been changed anyway and it still doesn't work. The chips in the fob are still attached and not loose/snapped.Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites
