Keyless entry but not exit.....
 

2007 D3 3.0TDi. Walking up to the car, I can open any door using the keyless systems and I can start the car. All without problem.

However, I can only lock the car using the button on the drivers door handle - none of the other door handle buttons seem to do anything.

Is this a setting maybe or is there anywhere to look?

I would have imagined the drivers button would stop working first as it must be the most used one. but....no! On mine it is the only one that does work.

They do fail predictably, given what you have said I'd wonder if that was the first one to go and hence the only one to have been replaced!?

I would guess this is a likely scenario given the cost to fix all 4 is often considered a bit much (around a grand)

Good logic and makes sense. I'll live with it as it is if it is a grand to resolve.

Both my front one have packed up - again - seems terminal.
The passenger still 'clicks' but the driver's side feels hard or already down.
If anyone even replaces there, it would be good if you could cut the old one's button out and see how it works as it might allow us to figure out a repair or maintenance.

ill keep an eye on this thread as my rear pass does not work:mad:

Didn't somebody post they got some extra life out of their keyless locking button by soaking it with wd40 ?

I can't find the post, but it rings a bell....

I definitely read that too, tried it but it didn't work for me. My fronts don't work but the rears do, it's no hassle to press the key fob though +++

I sprayed mine with contact cleaner in the gap with the aerosol straw while using loads of kitchen roll to keep it off the paint, then used silicone spray to make it water repellent.
I have got the passenger one working 3 times over the years but not any more.
I will try the driver's button, but seems to be a different problem, the button feels duff.

I've only got one that works on my car. Two worked when I bought the car, but the driver's one has gone now. You can hear water squelching in it.

A new door handle is around £105 from Audi, plus spraying and fitting.
