Got a Megane Coupe and the plip has stopped working. I know the batteries in the key itself are fine, the AA chap confirmed that for me. I've replaced the IR reciever in the roof with a new item. At the moment I can only start the car using the code and it's a right pain in the arse!
Anyway according to Chris's guide:
| Quote: |
When you put the final digit in the light goes out comes back on and back off again (i.e. the 30 second interval) press and hold the central locking button again and the doors should lock and unlock, remove the key and plip away at the sensor, in about 3 tries the doors should lock and unlock again.
The key should now be re-programmed and work as it should. |
Well I enter the code, then the red light comes on solid to say the car will start. I press and hold the central locking button and nothing happens. It doesn't lock and unlock the keys. If I take the key out the ignition and plip away bugger all happens 
Any ideas?
P.S - do I have to wait for the red light to turn off before I press and hold the button and the doors should lock/unlock again? |

Didn't work
Tried it several times, not a sausage. I guess it's time to get the lube out and pay a visit to a main stealer |

140 sounds a little over the odds
PM my all the details for the key if you haven't already ordered |

it might just need soldered! I have done a few.
check using a digi/phone camera.
You shoudl see the sensor light up blue for a second. If not or it only works once every 10 tries then chances are a dob of solder will sor tit |

Already ordered sadly. Never mind. Thanks for the offer though Chet 
One key was sending a signal but according to the diagnostic it wasn't working, the other was totally screwed - had a look inside em and they were defo making contact, nothing fixable really
Oh and what really took the piss was on the way home some dozy bint drove into the back of me when I was stationary in traffic.. Grr...
Oh by the way Chris if you haven't already noticed, I put the CR of the GTT up for you |
