I went out to my car yesterday and tried to open it with the key fob, nothing happened I discovered that the car was unlocked. When I tried to start it, lights flashed and it started clicking, this happened a couple of times then it went completely blank no flashing or clicking. Would this be caused if the battery drained and could it be cured if I get a jump start? My car is a 56 plate Passat

Hi....welcome to the Forum

If it is an old battery then chances are it has failed.

Worth getting the charge rate tested to see if the alternator is working ok and if so then replace the battery and that should resolve the issue.
