Great video - very helpful. However I found it impossible to remove the silver cap using my thumb as it was stuck on very firmly. I had to use the edge of the kitchen table to push from the opposite side of the little button until I heard a click and then the the silver cap lifted off easily. I followed the the video for the rest and everything went smoothly. Once again, Car Key Man, thanks for uploading this video - it's a real money saver!

Hi Aidan, thanks for watching, that sounds a bit extreme, I wonder why it was so tight?

@aidanclifford3954 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheCarKeyMan Who Knows - perhaps 9 years of abuse? While I'm no Arnie Schwartzenegger (that's Dwayne Johnson to the under sixties), I am reasonably well-built. It took me about a week to work up the courage to use the extra force but I had a second key so I decided to take the risk - it was also going dead with a stuck silver cap! I have now changed the battery on this one as well using the table but, like a previous poster, used a 2025 battery as I didn't have 2023 one to hand. Both keys are now working as they should.

The silver part just wouldn’t budge on my 2nd fob (1st clicked over nicely) eventually got it off- when I refitted I added abit of Duck oil (or wd40) on a cotton wool bud to lubricate it- works perfect now

Thanks for taking the time to film this in a clear and comprehensive way. The key on the Mrs' Passat is starting to play up. I didn't know it was just a bog-standard CR2032 lurking in there. So this'll be the first thing I try, without now needing to butcher access to the key internals. Cheers!

Hi Paul, we see a couple of common faults on these. Some Passat keys have just one button that stops working. Normally a good quality battery will sort around half of these cases, other times it needs a new electroninc switch
