vag codes

[ini]

The decimal number in the central locking module is used by the car as binary, a simple on/off list of the cars central locking features.

Because of this, it is possible to have an incorrect number, and still have many of the locking features work correctly.

Try resetting the number to basic 'alarm & remote locking', and see if the remote will sync?

I've tried reseting, recoding, scanning, everything didn't work. The remotes just aren't being recognized by the car. So i found the pump with the key receiver built in, and thats the problem! There are three electrical connections total, and one of them somehow got water on/ in it, so i opened it up and found some corrrosion on the circuit board! So i called the audi dealer in sacramento, ca and they want $$545.00 for a new pump and controller, you can't buy just the controller!

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET JUST A NEW CONTROLLER FOR MY REMOTES????

So i cleaned up the board as much as i could with alcohol and the connection, but it didn't help, i think its fried for good

Thanks INI, I used your 2 key instructions and it did take a little bit messing around with those instructions, I did get it to work.

Just for the other readers out there, I found a replacement Pump and controller on ebay for 220 shipped. Threw in my car, hooked up my vag-com reprogrammed the controller for the settings i like (roll windows down with my key....etc) and it works fine. The only problem was, is that i was so excited that i finally figured out the problem, (water on the controller) that i cleaned up the water and dryed it and didn't look any further for other problems.... mistake #1. Well about 4-5 months later during the rain season, my key stopped working remotely again SO, i immediately go into the trunk and check out the pump/controller unit, and what the F*#! do you know!, theres water down there again!, ya i was pretty pissed, so i bit the bullet and bought a third (yes third) pump controller off of ebay for 200. Comes to find out that the drain from my gas tank cap (that little hole below your gas cap) was clogged up down by the pump/controller and when it rained, it would back up and drip slowly into my trunk..... So i took out the hosing, blew it out with compressed air, cleaned out everything i could see, sealed the rubber gromet that held the hose against the side wall, and NO problems anymore! Lesson learned for me, but cost a little money. Oh well, hope it helps someone else for troubleshooting in the future.
