Hi all!,
I am after some advice, i bought a 1.0 6n2 polo from my younger brother a couple of years ago with the idea of fixing the car up and selling it for profit. Now my baby sister beeds a car and this would be perfect
I bought it off him because he lost the keys and couldnt be assed to do anything with it. Now after a couple of years messing around with other projects I am getting around to sorting it out.
So my question is, without any keys how can I start the car? I can get into the car but I am wondering if I can buy a 2nd hand ignition barrel and key set, will that start the car? Or will I need the ecu to go with it?
I have spoken to my local VW dealership, they wanted to charge the earth but I also needed to deliver the car to them, which isnt ideal not being able to start the car
Anyways, any help you can give would be mega!
Cheers
Goiby

Re: No Keys!!
You’ll need new keys, barrels, immobiliser and coil reader to uses different set of keys
To get VW to just make new keys and program them might be easier though. Its alot of effort switching it all over. Should be about £250-£300 max for new keys all done.
You wont be able to start it without having the immobiliser all linked up to the keys, even if the keys fit.
