hi,my cousin has just replaced the battery on his vec c (05 1.9cdti) now the doors wont open

any suggestions guys

Re sync the key fob

Presume you mean the remote isn't opening / closing the doors - as Critch says -Put the key in the ignition with ignition on - press the open and close buttons on the remote fob and this should resync the remote - he will probably have to reset the electric windows as well.

the d*** had the doors locked when he changed it,replaced the battery then shut the bonnet..........................only to discover no power & no way into the car

im thinking break a window?

Doesn't he have the key to unlock the door the old fashioned way?

[farley2708]

the lock is seized solid

[holtie]

Does the boot lock have a key hole in it you could use and climb through?

[farley2708]

no,its the push button only no key hole in it

[alcutler]

Squirt some WD40 in the key hole and work the key from side to side

[holtie]

Tried any spare keys in the lock? Sprayed oil/WD40 in lock?
