Mine does not lock, it’s on the list of irritations that our dealer will handle if it next goes in for something.

Hi, @digital, thanks for that, worked perfectly and makes sense.

Mine never unlocks with handle and sometimes locks.

Dealer had it for a day a few weeks ago and couldn’t fix - they’ve got it again, had since Thu, so now 5 days. As it stands problem still not resolved.

I don't have it on my Life, but I don't miss it as you just can't rely upon it. Our 2019 Polo GTI+ has keyless entry and it's just as flaky as reported here.

The only time mine might not work first time is when the handle and my hand are both very wet.

Like Scott, I've never had any trouble with mine except, rarely, when it's very wet. Even then it works second try.

I'll add that mine also works, not that that helps. However as I have said previously the cleverness of the key can be an issue and sometimes circumstances created by myself.
Mine wouldn't lock once until I realised the key was actually still in the car not my pocket.
Also last night it would not lock but when I reached into my pocket I realised that the key although not in the RF pouch I have it attached to, was actually sitting in my pocket covered by said pouch.
and as stated previously the locking would not work when I was stood at the boot of the car with the key and I asked my son to touch the handle to lock it, I had to pass the key to him in the end.

For the last few days I had the same keyless locking issue as Anduain and Jono. I tried the spare key and the same. Started to think 12v battery and been for a run but remains the same. Today I sat in the car and worked through the handbook, it keyless locking now works. I synced the key as shown on page 73 I.e stood outside the unlocked car and pressed unlock twice in quick succession. I then tried locking by touch but there was no change. I then locked it with the button and then opened and locked using the locking sensor, it has worked since. It's a wet day so I'm not sure if that has helped or simply a red herring.
