    Brilliant! So easy when you know how! This VW Polo is 11 years old now and I took it over from my mother-in-law a couple of years back, and this is the first battery change. I'm very impressed!! Thanks for this info, well done.

    You ROCK! I put this off for years, I was so afraid I'd mess up and have to bring it to the dealer. It took 5 minutes, including watching the video through one time.

    Great guide, does changing the battery reset your key tho? That's the concern I have from doing it.

  • @oceancolours
    @oceancolours 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    For the old style fob. If you don't want to damage the side of the fob by using a metal screwdriver then instead run an old credit/ phone card along the groove on the back of the fob to pry the two sides apart.

    Thanks for the informative video, this is just what I needed. BTW, did you notice that at 2:11 you mentioned to ensure that you put the battery +ve side down, but then in the video, proceeded to put it in -ve side down? I mention this just in-case it confuses someone.

    Hi thanks for this informative video, I have two keys for my skoda on of which opens, closes and arms/disarms the alarm the correctly. However recently the other key will only lock the car and arm the alarm. it does not disarm the alarm or open the car anymore. Is this a battery issue ?

    By changing the battery would I also need to reprogram the key? Or could I just put in the new battery and use it straight away?

    My fob has stopped working on my central locking / isn't opening the doors anymore unless I use the key manually. But when I press the buttons the red light still flashes, so presumably the battery isn't dead. Does that mean my fob isn't synched up to the car or something like that now? Just stopped working out of nowhere.

    • @VWGenuineParts
      @VWGenuineParts  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds like there's an issue with your remote :(
      The red light indicates that the battery is okay. A trip to your dealer will sort it...

  • @rondijcks9162
    @rondijcks9162 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    You don't need a screwdriver to remove the battery. Simply push firmly down at the very edge of the battery closest to the "VW" icon on the Key Fob, and it will "Pop" right out!!. This is a NITPICK, but if you don't have a screwdriver, NO WORRIES!

  • @Walkwith

    what vw cars come with a fob key? I want a polo but it seems it does not come with it.. or does it? or can I get it fitted or programmed? Im a bit lost, help please.

    • @VWGenuineParts
      @VWGenuineParts  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, thanks for your question. Most Volkswagens in the last 5-7 years would have remotes apart from S trim level models. Going back further than that, you would need to check on the vehicle you're looking to buy. Hope that helps. Kindest regards, Team VWGenuineParts.co.uk

    • @Walkwith
      @Walkwith 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you for getting back to me so quickly, great... so for example a polo made in 2008 should have one build in right?

    • @VWGenuineParts
      @VWGenuineParts  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it should have as long as it's not an S trim model.

    I've been "reliably" informed that there is a time limit on how long the battery may be removed from the fob before being replaced. Is this nonsense or is there any truth in it?

    • @VWGenuineParts
      @VWGenuineParts  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi John, we've only ever taken a battery out and fitted a new one straight away but I can't imagine it's an issue. Customers bring remotes to us that have been flat for ages and they're fine and don't need recoding. A dead battery is the same as no battery as far as I can see. If you're still concerned just have your fresh battery ready and swap them straight over. Hope that helps Sir! Kindest regards, Team VWGP
