Avoid keys from eBay, VAG keys are brand linked and also many are once only use.

You can do it yourself with VCDS if you have the SKC (Security Key Code) for your car.

I doubt vw will give ever give you the SKC willingly.
Without traction power is nothing!

I think you'd need proof of ownership and also of course the other keys.

You won't get the SKC, the dealership don't see them anymore it's all handled by GEKO.

Same ^^^^ £165 and all i needed was the V5 at the local dealer. I tried doing it myself with some instructions off of here but it was way beyond me.
