VW remote key problem Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting Guest Anonymous Poster Jul 19, 2008, 6:25 AM Post #1 of 4 (2191 views) VW remote key problem Sign In When I bought my 2002 VW GTI I thought my car keys was pretty cool. Then the little attachment on both of them necessary to hook it on a keychain broke off both of them. Needless to say it was quite annoying to carry a key around separately in your pocket, and I ended up losing one of them. Anyway I drilled a small hole through the remaining key case and ran some wire through it in order to attach it to a key chain (without hitting any of the innards), The problem now is that I have to be real close to the car in order for the key to actually unlock the door remotely. Is there something in the car that would maybe be responsible (a transmitting receiver maybe) for this or is it definitely the key only. The thing is the keys are like $200 and I really don't want to get a new one unless I have to. jayeffel User Jul 19, 2008, 11:28 AM Post #2 of 4 (2185 views) Re: VW remote key problem Sign In is there a battery in the case that may be dead?

Much more often than I normally remember having to change key batteries.... jayeffel User Jul 21, 2008, 5:10 PM Post #4 of 4 (2172 views) Re: VW remote key problem Sign In I don't know how these gadgets work; just thought that maybe reduced power may cause the problem.
