hairyface 211 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 the keyfob wouldn't open the doors this morning, been working fine right upto lunchtime today, managed to get it to open by just pressing the fob, why it opened I don't know coz I'd pressed it 30+time upto then and nothing,, got it home and by chance we had a battery, but now it only opens and shuts if you hold it with 2 hands a press firmly, and you have to be right beside it, wheras before you could be 20yds away, any ideas chaps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

budgie123 163 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I had similar problems with the same model. The reciever for the fob is mounted in the roof near the sun roofs and if you have any issues with water ingress around the sunroofs there is apossibility this is defective or not earthing correctly. Only problem is accessing it as it requires the head lining to come out. It is changeable item and does not require tuning to ecu unit. Try placing key up near the sun roof and mine unlocked every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
