I think this is pretty specialised so you vw dealer or somewhere like shark performance.
Without traction power is nothing!

as bacillus has said, youll have to go to a dealer, or somewhere that can read the SKC off the clocks so they can pair the immobiliser to the key

www.hickleys.co.uk can also do it by cloning your existing key

Hi there I'm a newbie

I'm a auto locksmith and I can do this procedure

If you go onto the advanced-diagnostic web site you can find a local auto locksmith in your area who can come out to you and program your keys

Hi jaywoo

Did you get this sorted?

I've also noticed that your in the midlands my workshop is in Coventry if that's any good to you?

Also where did you get your key from because I get them a lot when people buy them from eBay and the transponder is locked so then they need a new transponder so just to let you know

Cheers

Yeh you can them from hickleys or depends on the locksmith and what equipment he has they might be able to unlock the transponder

Locksmiths will probably charge about £20 for the transponder
