Take the key to a VW parts dealer and have them cut you a new key...
It is probably just too warn out to recognize the key in the door...
I don't know if your talking bout the key itself or the button but if it's the buttons, get a new battery
master key on volkswagen golf 1997 wont open the doors
Unlock the doors, from the outside, just turn the key to unlock direction 2x. This will make all doors unlock-including the fuel door.
The dealer
close the bonnet and then lock the doors
Yes, it is a Golf but VW stopped calling it the "VW Golf... GTI". Just as VW didn't call the R32 a Golf (although it is based on the VW Golf and has the same shape and many common components).
I have one key for my 2002 gti, I can not lock the lid. The key wiil not enter the lock. The doors will lock and the rear lid will alarm when opened. Something is in order.
The auto lock feature cannot be disabled. However, the dealer can re-program it to unlock all doors after the key is removed.
If the key starts the car and you just need to program remote. I just bought a 2000 beetle and had this same problem. Just unlock the rear hatch and lift it up, then unlock driver door with key and push either lock or unlock and it will program the remote to lock, unlock, doors rear hatch and arm alarm
