Got a fright this morning. I am 650km from home and my spare set of keys. I went to lgot to work in my 2003 TD6 and it wouldn't start. Did everything but start. last night I replaced the handset battery so I retraced what i did. I did the handset reset as found in PDI instructions but that didn't work. So i then consulted this site and it mentioned that I should hear a click when the key goes in, I didnt. At this point I recalled a bit of black plastic lying around after the battery change. A quick tip out of the rubbish bin (thank god room service hadnt emptied it) and I found it so back to the car and place the piece next to the key and it started.
So what had happened was when I removed the battery I also removed the printed circuit to adjust the rubbercover that had poked back in. When I did this the magnet? dropped out and I had no idea it was even in there. So when i get back home this weekend I will be gluing this in place to stop it happening again, and also resynchng my spare key.
