Key and lock change

Post by mikey_al »

Hi guys,

I’m new to the forum and Polo ownership (although I’ve had a handful of Mk4 Golfs). I have two queries I’m hoping someone can help with, this being one of them.

My 6N2 Gti has one shoddy key. My donor 6N2 Gti has two perfect keys. I want to perform “the swap” but need to know what modules on top of door locks and barrel I need to change in order for it to work successfully? I’ve done this with a BMW before and it entailed ECU, DME and another module that I forget the name of needing replacing aswell as the locks and barrel.....?

ECU, immobiliser, coil, ignition barrel, all door barrels and boot plus glovebox

It’s probably easier to just get two new keys and get them coded

Thanks Alex.

Easier yes, but I have a way of doing it for free so I’ll do it the hard way :cry:
