    Urgent help - Can't unlock car

    This worked! Now the only issue is that the fob will not unlock the front doors. Would a low battery cause it to only lock or open boot ?

    Wiring in A3 Aux connector?

    It wasn't, honestly . Make sense once you've sat down with the components in front of you. I'd say get 3 repair wires though. There are plenty tutorials people have made if you give it a search! I borrowed a members vcds from this forum and coded it myself. If you go to the vcds section...

    Wiring in A3 Aux connector?

    yeah, if you go to the bottom of the page it shows the wiring diagram that shows the connection points. Someone else may have a better tutorial for the concert though. Best to check if you'll need to unlock the aux on the concert using an VCDS as well.

    Headgasket gone? - Advice please

    One other thing he said was that there was what looks like water on the underside of the car but further forward of where you would expect it to be if the water pump had gone.

    Headgasket gone? - Advice please

    Update: Residue was found between the cam cover and the head right on the corner of it. He doesn't know how long its been there so isn't sure if its a lot at once or a little bit over a long time or what. He has cleaned it up and put K-seal (?) into the water in the hopes that if its only a...
