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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all Picked my car up from the garage this morning after a quick curb mark repair, all working fine but when got home I locked the car, realized I had left myw phone in it, pressed the remote and nothing! I notice the remote Light wasn't flashing so changed the battery but still nothing! The doors open and the car works fine on the key but the remote doesn't work at all, the remote appears to be working fine (flashing) but it isn't opening the car or the bonnet! I've tried the reverse polarity thing recommended on the web, also pressing lock button twice whilst the key is in the inanition but still no joy! Any suggestions? Is this an OPC issue ? If so any idea of cost? I have warranty wise platinum cover which included all electronics and up to £150 an hour garage rates! Anyone any ideas? Also why has this happened? Thanks in advance Tom

I hate to say it, but that's how it happens. I had one go bad just sitting in the kitchen drawer. A new key head for a facelift 996 coupe/cab is £91.17 +VAT, plus programming. It takes about 15 minutes, but I suspect you would get charged for 1/2 an hour.

Thanks Richard, I'll call OPC colchester tomorrow Cheers Tom
