Vw polo. I'm locked out of my car. central locking possible failure?







the key will not open the doors or the boot. I think it's a problem with the central locking. would really appreciate some advice|||Does that mean you bought a car and didn't try the key to see if it'll open the doors/boot if your c/l blip key failed? If there's no led lighting up on your key fob it's more than likely to be a flat battery in the fob. These are just a button battery and easy/cheap to replace. The other way to get in (and works!) is to slice a tennis ball in half, pop it over the lock barrel and "bop" it and this should over-ride the c/l n open your door. Other than that, a FBH (F**kin Big Hammer) or a P.T.I (a Precision Tuning Instrument "smaller hammer") to a side window is the other form of "universal" key. This would then mean a visit to a scrappy to replace said smashed window.|||the key even without a battery should open the drivers door,however if the car is a few years old and no one has ever used the key before the lock may be in a "seized"up state,,,get an aerosol of WD40,,,,this has a thin red pipe you push into the nozzle of the aersol can,push the pipe into the keyhole and give it a good squirt,,leave a few mins and try the key again,


it should unlock the door but may not start the car as the keys for most cars are "coded"and a flat battery in the remote may stop the car starting,,,local dealer will replace batteries
