Issue with remote unlocking.

Morning All,

One issue on my new/old Cupra R is that the back 2 doors unlock and lock perfectly fine but my front doors lock fine but fail to open from the outside.

Then if I un lock with the key and open and close the door that door then works fine with locking and unlocking. It then gets weird as if I leave the car for a while or fold the mirrors in on the lock the front doors no longer work when unlocking.

This doesn't make sense to me as when I first looked at the car it was the front passenger and rear passenger door that didn't work but the driver side doors did but I then get it home and it's different doors that fail to open.

I went to the handbook to look at resyncing the key to the car but it suggests just a 2 step process which didn't work, I have then seen things on here suggesting a longer process which I can try today. If this fails to complete will that key then do nothing or will it just carry on as before?

I assume this could be an issue with the motor in the door but it's changed doors so I don't know how to diagnose it.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Update...

It seems my drivers door is now unlocking fine as well as the back 2 doors...

So just the front passenger door still not working...

Cheers

This is a common problem with this generation of VW lock modules, have a look at this video for a potential fix:

I will be trying this soon as my front passenger door only unlocks when it feels like it.

I have seen this video and thought it looked like a fix for something that just didn't work where as mine and yours it seems it is completely random if the door wants to unlock or not.

Would this be something that VCDS would be able to see going wrong? have you tried re pairing the fob to see if that does anything?
