key fob

The problem is the passenger side door does not allway open first time with remote some times you have to press the unlock button three time to get it to open, is it a electrical problem or mechanical ?? I think it could be mechanical the lock needs to be cleaned and oiled ?

I’ve just noticed that my tailgate doesn’t unlock on the middle button of either key fob. I’m sure it used to do. I can’t find any setting in the head unit or reference in owners manual. Any ideas? T6.1 for reference. Tailgate will unlock with the open doors button. Anyone can test their fob...

What is the effect if you press the lock button on the key fob twice?

Hi, This is just for information as there seem to be quite a few threads asking the same questions about getting spare key/fobs for T6. The following relates to T6.1 from 22 onwards. I don't know if it relates to older vehicles but if you let me know I'll update the post. To get a new (spare)...

Hi guys! A couple of weeks ago I got a new to me T6 with factory, sliding doors and power tailgate. The sliding doors open and closed from the key fob but I can’t get the power tailgate to open from the key fob. Am I missing something? Should this work from factory? Any help would be much...

Hi, my T6 key fob case looks the worst for wear, and needs replacing, I have been looking at a few new genuine vw fobs to do a swap over of the chip, case, & blade, can someone tell me if it matters about the different part number mine being 5KO prefix, others fobs I have seen are identical but...

Morning all. I decided to put my vow key in the washing machine (naturally). Anyway when it came out it had a low battery notification, I swapped the battery and now the red light on the key started flashing and buttons don’t work. Key works and starts van but the buttons don’t. I have a Christa...

Hi all, Just wondering where you fellow disklok / stoplock / pedal lock etc owners keep the key? Although practical it doesn't seem to make sense to me to keep it on the set of keys, in case the whole bunch get nicked. Is stashing it somewhere in the van a bad idea?

So I’m posting this in case it helps someone else! So I kept getting a message to change my key fob battery so I eventually caved and changed it. Upon doing so it no longer worked on the van. The LED on the fob was lighting up fine. I tried alsorts, changing the battery back, driving down the...

Hi A few weeks ago I closed my tailgate on a full boot which then jammed. I couldn’t open the boot externally and managed to open it using the internal switch (T6 Combi). I noticed that a folded table was pressing against the area of the internal switch. All seemed well until later I tried to...

Afternoon all, just wondering if anyone has had there key break from the fob and what course of action you took to remedy the problem. I have for now glued it open for now. Thanks Dave

Just upgraded from a 17 plate Berlingo to a T32 Kombi due to a kiddo on the way and still requiring a work vehicle. So far loving it. One thing I miss mind is that the berlingo had a way to check it was locked with the fob by pressing lock key 3 times and it would flash hazards 10 times -...

Hi everyone, I had a quick search and couldn't find a similar thread so apologies if it has been asked before. I have a VW T6 Caravelle and drive for a living in the Basque Country. I was in San Sebastian after a job and went for a surf. I locked the van with the buttons on my remote and put...

So thought I would try my arm at creating new laser cut key rings … what does everyone thing …

Morning all, Advice please, this morning the van wouldn't unlock on the key button, after a few goes it did but then the van wouldn't start, nothing not even a click but the ignition lights were on. I waited, tried the headlight main beam to see if battery was flat ish but the car in front lit...

Hi everyone, I've tried everything I can find online but my key fob is dead, van is 2017 highline. Even the red light won't flash on it. I've tried multiple new batteries and syncing it through the procedure in the manual. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix? I'm away at the moment...

Hi All, I’am new here, I just took delivery of my new Transporter T6.1 and I was wondering how to Unlocking only the cab but leaving cargo doors locked ? If anyone can help Please. Many thanks

Good morning, After my recent post "Failure to start', and exploring other potential fixes, I have decided to replace my key and get it recoded. Now I'm in Somerset and would be interested if anyone has done the same, could point me in the right direction and avoided main dealer prices. Much...

Not sure if this is a common fault but my key has broken. Has anyone got any part numbers for key parts?

Both of my keys for my 2016 Kombi have the same issue. To lock the van, you need a proper "click" of the button - this is fine! The button to open the van doesn't take any pressure at all to activate. Almost like it works with the heat of your finger. Problem being, lock van, put keys in...
