    Hi
    My car key fob for opening/closing car - central locking now working

    It for a 2014 VW Golf 1.6 TDI Hatchback

    Is it a case that the battery is just gone in the fob and I just need to get a new battery for it and open up the fob and replace the battery or is it case that I have get a brand new key fob coded for the car via car dealership

    I have a 2nd key fob -the spare

    Thanks in advance

    The batterys in those keys last no time at all, 24 months tops.

    The use a CR2025 battery.
