Any other early Mk4s here with Cobra keyless entry remotes?

have the same remote system, any ideas on fixing the missing buttons indicated below?

Sounds like its a power issue. It may be getting switched acc power when it needs a constant.

Would that explain why it would open but not lock? Might run a wire from the battery directly to the unit as a test and see how i go!

All I can suggest is buying a new PCB from eBay or similar. Like this one? You could try programming the new PCB to your system, and if that doesn't work, transfer its buttons to your existing PCB (if you're handy with a soldering iron...).

Man I wish I was more useful with electrical stuff.

try VW for a new remote, i bought a complete kit within the last 6 months

I had same unit in my VW Golf MK3 VR6.
Bought from VW dealer in Brisbane more than 5 years ago and still working with NO issue.

Your post it's was very helpful to me to fix my alarm... Thanks!!
Would you, by chance, know how to get a passenger door out of safe mode? The button moves with the key and inside handle, but never gets to unlock.
I'd pull the door apart to resolder the broken cold joints in the actuator if I could only open the damn thing...

Thanks for any help here.

This is the Votex keyless upgrage they made exclusively for VW , the module was normally fitted inside the drivers door and ustilised the green and grey central locking wires coming from the lock module. Any we fitted went there, made it heaps easy to fit and terminate
See how you go
Cheers
