Just so I get this right. The ignition switch not the ignition barrel? Would cause it.

The car will lock with the key in the door.

Well all I can say is if for whatever reason the ignition thinks the key is in it it wont allow remote locking, whether that's the switch or barrel that does it I've no idea but if the switch is funky change it and see if the problem is still there.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to take the steering wheel off

Maybe, maybe not, the switch is just attached to the end of the ignition barrel. This should help

It's for the golf etc but basically the same

Cheers for that mate, looks a fairly easy to do. Not scared of tackling anything on my car which is a bonus

Ignition switch didn't change the central locking but car starts better the old ignition switch was massively worn in comparison to the new one.

So whats next on the list to check?

CCM Changed/Tested
Several Remotes Tested
All locks work / no faults
Ignition Switch Replaced

I wonder if the antenna wire could be bad, you can buy coaxial cable from the likes of maplins and try changing it, I can't think what else.

 

[Phillips1795]

how do I identify the antenna wire? Which cable out of the two blocks will it be?

You might find some other info in amongst there too

Thanks again! Would seem the antenna is in the clear shielding which would make sense. Going to cut into and add my own wire. Thats next weekends job if weather permits!

When I added all the electrics and remote locking I just coiled the wire up under the dash, works fine, the original wire will run up the door pillar.

If everything else is spot on though I can't think what else it could be, definitely the correct frequency remote fobs?

 

[Phillips1795]

Yeah tried several different ones just to rule that out.
