Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not sure if anyone can throw any light on this. I replaced my key head less than 2 years ago as it didnt seem to be talking to the car. Mind you, when i opened the key head, the inside pcb did look a bit tired/damaged with loose connectors. My issue is that whilst my newer key head is solid, well sealed and undamaged, why does the garage say it needs replacing again after such a short time. I know that the majority of times the key has worked well, then i noticed it was starting to be tricky. I used the re setting procedures, ie put key in fob..leave for 1 minute...switch off for ten seconds....then turn engine over. Key fob returned to normal operation. However, has only lasted for 2 to 3 weeks and is now dodgy again. Does the fob really need replacing or should a garage be able to sort this, ie reprogramming! I know its difficult to tell without seeing the unit but trust me, it is still in brand new condition.. Car is in this week having a major service but i am reluctant to spend another £100 on a new key head !!!! All comments greatly appreciated

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
