Does the locking work with your other key/fob?

Possibly need the central locking recoded. Although I'd scan with VCDS to ensure the wireless thingy hasn't failed.. also check the battery.

P.S your Boost gauge is on da way :)

Key is sending a signal which suggests battery is fine.

Will get my mate to check on VCD's

Any other ideas gents?

Would it need to be recoded at stealers? As I don't have a spare

Try changing the key fob battery. The LED can flash but there is not enough power to send sufficient signal to operate the car electronics.

Have  a look on YouTube (how to replace key fob battery vw Golf Mk5) - several good guides on there. Bit fiddly first time but no real problem.
Just off to work - no time to post one now! I'll look later on.
BTW worked for me! Battery is a button cell 2032 if I remember correctly.
