key fob Audi A3 Sport TDI 55 plate - Keyfob will remote lock but wont unlock?

[danieljatherton]

Apologies if I am repeating a common question. If that is the case, please do put me in the right direction!

The remote keyfob on my new (used) Audi A3 (55 plate) will open the boot and lock the doors but will not unlock. Instead, I have to unlock the door directly with the key and quickly turn on the ignition to prevent the alarm from sounding (usually within 5-10 seconds). 

Is this a common problem? Could someone recommend a course of action and rough pricing to expect?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem, although the tailgate wouldn't open at all. turned out it was the fuse controlling the body control module. worth a look ?

Hi,

I had the same problem, all I did was opened up the fob removed the battery and reconnected and it worked!!

Good Luck

All sorted. The garage replaced the battery in the keyfob for £10 and walla... 🙂

I'd guess you've got water inside the door and shorted out some switches.

A mate sed it could be the door control module that’s gone do you fink it could be that. Thanks

Sounds like the door module to me! Could also be the door latch if it thinks the door is open.

All fix now lads thanks it was a few wires that snapped on the door loom
