Hi guys i posted this in the new members section but probably should of posted it here!
i'm new to the forum after reading many DIY's and threads i decided it was about time i registered and introduced myself and wondered if some one could help and offer me some advice..
I recently bought my B6 2.5TDI Quattro a few months ago and have had a persistent problem with my central locking ever since i bought it where nothing happens from the remote control.. initially thought that maybe it was the battery in the remote and so changed that over and yet still nothing?..
i tried re-syncing the key with the car but no luck, the car opens by the drivers door manually and wont open the remaining doors until the ignition is switched to on, i only have the one fob key and have a spare normal key. I tried to get another fob cut but while trying to sync the key it was discovered that someone had been playing around on vagcom (previous owner as i haven't a clue!) and they had disabled the alarm system and i believe disconnected it as well, so the system would not allow me to add another key.
i had this looked further into and they believed that maybe from someone playing around with the system and not knowing what they were doing the car constantly thinks something is wrong with its alarm system (and rightly so!) The person who looked into this for me (a close family friend) believes that it may be down to my comfort control module and replacing this should resolve my issues, i wonder if anyone is around in the Berkshire area for a second opinion? and/or any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated!
if it also helps when locking the car the red blinking light on the drivers door only flashes and not the one in the centre of the dashboard. I have also had the signal checked in the remote & from the receiver and both are transmitting but from where someone messed around with the settings, central locking no longer works.
does anyone have any previous experience with a similar problem? or knows if it is the comfort control module thats likely at fault? don't wanna fork out for a new/second hand one and be in the same position..
Many Thanks!
Carl
