I'm handy enough with a soldering iron yeah, but this thing in tiny!! The fob LED lights up almost every time I press it, but it doesn't unlock the car. That happens once or twice every 20 to 40 presses!! So, considering the LED lights up, could it still be the solder joints?

No suggestions? If i remove the central locking fuse for an hour and then replace it, is there any hope it would help?

2001 VW Polo. 1.4mpi Same Fob as type as the one on this link. http://jamesis2.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/seat-ibiza-1999-2002-key-fob-programming.html and I have even reset the fob in the same manner as the one in this video. I got the 2 clicks to suggest it was reset but it made almost no...

My key fob has been acting erratically recently. The worst thing is that the key never matched the lock the door. And I don't have a key that fits the door lock. So, I am going to get a key and barrel lock for the door to manually open it anyway. However, the fob is something I would like to fix...

I cannot get a picture that will show it properly. It looks just fine from the angles I can take a pic from. The sump isn't really visible. It's only when you get the right size plug in there that you realize that it's a bigger plug that is inside. We did manage to get a 21mm socket, with fairly...

UPDATE on this. It looks like the plug has been forced in. So, the thinking is, if it still works then leave it be. Deal with it if and when it fails, down the line. Car failed the car test on a couple of minor issues. Not related to the plugs. So that's what I'm gonna do for now.

I guess if it aint broke comes to mind alright, but I feel like there should be a bit more poke in the car and it could be down to the wrong plug being in it, especially if it's not very tightly fitted? I'll have a good think about it anyway.

I contacted the place I bought it from and they just said that they took it on a trade in. So hard to trace back any further than that really. :( I'll try a tube spanner, I guess! Hopefully I can find something that gets in.

A 21mm Tube Spanner. I guess it might work, but there is very little space in there. They are narrow walled sockets and quite long, right? Not sure how I'd use a Nut and locknut? Thanks for the replies

Decided to service my car before the car test. I don't have it very long. But I just thought I'd give it a fresh service. Did the oil change, changed out the air filter and cabin filter. Checked fluid levels. And then went to change the spark plugs, thinking I'd leave the easiest and least messy...
