Central locking fault

nigelr5426 · Nov 22nd, 2023, 08:36

My p3 V70 central locking works, but the remote function only works sometimes .... something to do with whether removing the key activates the system or not. Occasionally it does, but usually I am left to (un)lock the car manually. Any bright ideas, please? Don't really want to cough up £££££s at an electrical specialist, and otherwise the car is wonderful, so I'm happy to hear your tips for a simple fix. SOMEBODY must have met this before, but I can find no mention of it online. Thank you in advance!!

Have you tried replacing the battery in the remote?

I has a similar problem a good few years ago on a BMW E61 5 series estate. I had to replace the central locking antenna. It was located in the tailgate spoiler and cost about £20 from BMW. I’m not sure where it’s located on the V70?
