Common Problems

Typical symptoms we see with Mercedes keys and related security parts.

  • Key not detected

    The car does not recognise the key, or the dashboard shows a key warning when you try to unlock or start.

  • Key not starting the car

    Locks may still work, but the engine will not crank or start with the key you have.

  • Steering lock fault message

    A steering lock or electronic ignition warning appears and the vehicle will not start normally.

  • Lost key

    One or every key is missing and you need a replacement programmed so the car can be used again.

How It Works

  1. 01

    Enquire

    Call, WhatsApp or send the enquiry form with your Mercedes model, year and what is wrong with the key.

  2. 02

    Confirm identity and ownership

    We confirm who you are and that you own the vehicle before any key or security work begins.

  3. 03

    Book an appointment

    We arrange a workshop visit suited to FBS4 key programming or security repair.

  4. 04

    Keys programmed and tested

    Keys and related security parts are programmed, then checked so the vehicle locks and starts as expected.

What To Bring

Have these ready so we can complete ownership checks and the booking smoothly.

  • The vehicle (or the VIN and registration if we advise otherwise)
  • Proof of ownership and photo ID
  • Any existing keys

“Got to know Northwest through another trader — needed key programming for a Volkswagen. Never looked back since. Probably one of the best things to happen to us as a car dealer. Reliable, knowledgeable and they do not let you down. If anyone needs anything doing to Volkswagen or Mercedes cars, do not hesitate to contact them.”

“I had a selector issue on my Golf Mk8, along with faults for the collision sensor and SOS system. North West Car Coding updated the software and cured both sensor issues, reset my service light and sorted everything properly. An absolute gentleman, a true master of diagnosis and a proper problem solver. Not many tradesmen operate like this anymore.”
