wow - thank you sir - your service is better than vw lol
I assume everyones keys have the boot symbol in the middle button position,,,, was trying to press it in multiple different ways when I bought the car, thought it must do something lol,,, now I understand.
I will buy the parts on the part numbers you supplied
my car is an 08, does that make a difference and can I fit this myself ?
also any ideas how much I should pay someone for the coding alone
many many thanks to you sir
Yes, just a generic key. Tis nice to be able to use it, always eats noticed in car parks when you "pop" it from a distance and peeps look round!
You can get all the parts from your local TPS, or VW for the VW parts and Skoda for the struts. It's a 2 min job to code so hopefully a kind forum member should only charge you a few beer tokens.
Am looking at the strut part number now and its C. Prices were correct as off 2 months ago.
