Very helpful - one question, how did you remove the carpet? It appears you had a hole to put your finger into. Did you cut a hole? My car doesn't have such a hole and I've been scratching at it trying to get a grip. maybe a molding paddle against the lip molding to pry it? I looked at another video and it appeared the guy had cut a diagonal slit (although the cutting step was left out of his video). That seemed like cheesy damage to the vehicle - unless some cars shipped with a cut in the carpet.

Yes because everyone has a air compressor in their home

My fob has stopped working on my central locking / isn't opening the doors anymore unless I use the key manually. But when I press the buttons the red light still flashes, so presumably the battery isn't dead. Does that mean my fob isn't synched up to the car or something like that now? Just stopped working out of nowhere.

i have the old key (blue) which opened with the new method(black)....strange

Thanks, you saved me a trip to the dealer. Would've felt silly going there to replace a battery.

You don't need a screwdriver to remove the battery. Simply push firmly down at the very edge of the battery closest to the "VW" icon on the Key Fob, and it will "Pop" right out!!. This is a NITPICK, but if you don't have a screwdriver, NO WORRIES!

Oddly, my fob has a blue logo yet opens as shown for the newer style. Many thanks nonetheless!!

Question.. I by accident broke one of three clips. The one away from. The two which sit opposite. It was kind of weak seemed like worn plastic once I added slight pressure it snapped. Do I need to change the whole tail light?? Please let me know There was a little bit of loss to the seal?

I've been "reliably" informed that there is a time limit on how long the battery may be removed from the fob before being replaced. Is this nonsense or is there any truth in it?

excellent and clear - saved me a trip to the shop - thanks!

My "Park" indicator warning light keeps flashing in red on the dashboard in my VW Tiguan 2013. The Yellow (P) with a slash going accross it... indicator light remains on at dashboard. what's going on?

it only works with a key and not with the remote on my skoda fabia why ?

Thanks for this video. Gave me the confidence to yank back the carpet to access the light unit - something not mentioned in my handbook!

Thank you ! This was a very helpful tutorial !

Hello! Nice video. Just one question, to take off the cover, you just need to pull it out hard or do you have to remove some screws?
