Hi there I drive a 03 Leon Cupra R. I rather stupidly left my lights on over a weekend and ran my battery totally flat! (I know very stupid)I used some jump leads and the car is fine, however now my car keyfob will only unlock my drivers door... what needs to be done to sort this out?

Thanks
Lloyd

P.S any owners/ex owners know if there is a way for the car to make a sound when lights are left on to prevent this?

If I may be so bold; you have tried pressing the button twice haven't you?

Most VAG cars come with 'selective locking' which opens the driver door only on the first push for security. I'm wondering if your car might have had this turned off and has now forgotten the setting.

Yeah, I have tried that. The keyfob locks the doors if they have been opened but just doesn't unlock them!?

Sounds like something has reset it back to single door unlocking mode. Pressing the button twice in quick succession should definitely unlock all doors though.

Who me ?

I believe the lights on ,door open alarm is standard on VAG vehicles. Certainly was on the firms R reg Golf van and on my Fabia. I've had a look in a Haynes for Fabia and the alarm is not shown in the wiring diagram , but I seem to remember reading this a a VAG fault on BRISKODA.NET.
