a few days ago Í got the message "key Battery low" or something similar...
Well HAHA I thought - just received lots of goodies from P38spares.co.uk - including 2 sets of remote key refurbishing kits with buttons, batteries, rear cover plate and O-rings... started changing batteries in the on that was about to go dead. After work I triede to open the car with the remote - NO RESPONS - ok I thought... left the batteries out to long - took my other key with remote end opened the car with that and went home.
At home I tried to syncronize the key in the ignition.. no difference - could easily start the car but not activate the door locks as with the other key.... Looked in my workshop manual. Syncronize has to be done in the doorlock - well easily done I thought... but the doorlock did not work - turned around but no action.... WHAT?!
In the spring I changed the central locking motor - old one had a strange sound - doorlock in the drivers door and carefully reconnected everything - but somehow the small rod for the keylock had come loose - it was just dangeling in the door... reconnected it and tried to syncronize the key again - and it worked!!!
So if you experience something similar - check the drivers door - easily done and remember this - always have both keys with you when you change the batteries in the remote control - just in case.....
Ferdinand - at least on happy ending with my car this week - ohhh also fitte my snow tires today... So come on Winter..... bring me some snow!!!!
