thanks

thanks alot for the help but im still not sure what to do? someone posted about holding down the button with a key on it and then pressing the blank button but mine are an open padlock and a closed one?? I have now seen 3 or 4 different methods and dont know which is right?

scrap that - i sent it by email

firstly try the door lock to make sure the central locking works anyway - always worth a check

this will sound daft but bear with me you will need 2 keys - not neccesarily remotes just a second one that you can use in the ignition

right ya ready (read through it first to get the run down)

1 - get both keys - the one with the remote (A) and the normal key (B)

2 - note this must be done within 30 seconds as the synchro process cuts off after that (all will be revealed)

3 - make sure the car is unlocked and the window open before you start

4 - use key (B) to switch on the ignition (lights on dash NOT startup)

5 - use key (A) to lock the drivers door manually (ie key in the door lock) or NS if you have the 2002 on model with only one door lock

6 - now UNLOCK then LOCK the drivers door WHILST HOLDING the unlock button on the remote

7 - once done take key (B) out of the ignition - sorted

PS - even though its lighting up its best to change or at least test the battery(ies) for a minimum of 3v any less then change them - see http://www.seatcupra.net/knowledge_base/fitting_guides/key_battery_change_guide..html for help and a guide how

any trouble let me know - ill help if i can - and just be glad pedro didnt add spin round 3 times and stand on one knee to the procedure - its daft enough as it is - lol


note the above only solves the remote locking part - the passive built in immobiliser will need to be coded in by a dealer or vag com user

Ok think i understand ?? But just found out the only key i got dont work on remote something inside has come off. Maybe i need to pay out on a new key nowcry: I was hoping i could do it on the cheap but never mind more overtime at work i guess. Thanks for your time and help. Im sure i will have lots more questions as im crap with cars.

you can get the remote piece seperate from the key so all you need is a spare solid key

try local keycutters/locksmiths as some have been known to be able to clone the original chip into a new spare

will leave you only needing a remote piece then
