    Hello
    I am writing to ask for help because I cannot deal with the problem on my own. Namely, one day, it happened 2 weeks ago, my VW Passat B6 has problems with opening the doors with the remote control. Closing and opening the trunk lid works all the time without interruption. Only opening with the remote control sometimes works and sometimes there is silence and I have to open the car using the pin from the remote control. All locks from the inside are functional. What could this be a problem? I would like to ask for advice.

    Without equipment you will not check anything anyway. First fire the remote control and its battery to check. Then re-encoding.

    I understand that you do not have a second remote control ?

    I have the 2nd factory remote but the situation is the same as with the first remote i.e. closing and opening the trunk without any problems but with opening there is a problem...once it opens and once it does not.

    Check the plugs from the comfort module to see if there is a white and blue residue on them because maybe the module has caught moisture and is going crazy

    Today I replaced the batteries in the remote control and so far out of 3 times I needed to open the car it opened 3 times. I will write in a while if the problem remained or if such a simple thing was enough to solve the problem. Thank you nevertheless for all your help.

    And what about the remote control? Did you somehow find a way?

    If the LED is flashing and the remote does not open, press open and open the door from the key. Press open again, you have one minute to do this. This will reprogram the remote control. If this does not work, there is a fault somewhere.

Topic summary

A VW Passat B6 exhibits intermittent failure to unlock doors using the remote control, while trunk locking/unlocking functions consistently. Both factory remotes show the same issue. Initial troubleshooting steps include checking and replacing remote batteries, which temporarily improved performance. Further advice suggests inspecting the comfort module connectors for moisture-induced corrosion (white and blue residue) that could cause erratic behavior. Reprogramming the remote by using the key and remote within a one-minute window is recommended if the remote LED flashes but the door does not open. Persistent issues after these steps indicate a deeper fault in the vehicle's locking system or control module.
