Car starts with key but central locking does not work HELP

Post by Wri569 »

Please help I bought a 2l hdi w reg 206 2 days ago and was told the key needed a battery. After putting one in the fob just flashes when it's pressed so I have to open each door individually with the key. A mechanic has plugged a computer into it and the central locking worked when the BSI was told too by the computer. The mechanic seems to think that the key want re programming or synchronising. I've found a place that will re programme the key for £114 but can't guarantee that the fob will work once done. ANY HELP APPRECIATED

Thanks for reply I've tried above and the key fob just flashes so maybe the key fob has to be re programmed to the car itself.

It's not clear from your posting if the remote is in the key or a seperate fob. Your car is obviously not a 206cc with that year / engine, so the handbook above may not be of much use.

Yes, I realise that it is not a 206cc but the programming procedure should be the same.
