Clock time off fob not working

My 2007 A3 has felt like it's falling apart as the main key fob and spare fob have stopped opening door and now the clock is showing about 12 hours behind. I've not used it much during lockdown but had regular service 2 months ago. Only done 68k miles. Is it still safe to drive?

In that case I don't know what is wrong with it.

Nevertheless to claim the car is "falling apart" just because the doors don't unlock and the clock is wrong is a more than a little exaggerted. As for being safe to drive, I really don't know what to say.

Yes, that was exaggerated I'll take it back - the car has served us well for last 4 years so can't complain.

Hello Eric, 

Sorry to hear about the issues with the car. As has been said, the issues are minor for a 13 year old car, and are surely sortable with some specialist input. Since both faults are electrically associated, If it were mine, I would be investing in an hour’s time with a trusted local auto electrician, who should be able to at least diagnose the causes, and possibly sort them for you. 

Not sure when the car was last serviced, and whether you have local independent specialist who you use, but if it’s not been serviced lately, it might well be worth rewarding it with a good check over. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
