Replacement Keys

Post by Mja »

Just got the car, a slight problem is that I only have 1 key, the manual says that u can get a replacement key from a VW dealer, using the Key serial number. (guess whats coming next..........) But I havent got/don't know the number :? Is it a complete locks change or make do with 1 key (Not very convenient), or can a replacement still be obtained (chassis No.,Reg etc.) :?:

£56? Pah!

A remote key for a MK6 will set you back £110 with coding at least.

Not me, but for you it will! :lol:
