Need a new key :(
« on: July 23, 2013, 10:15:14 pm »
I can confirm key fob electrics + 30c wash do not mix. I now need a replacement second key.
 
After speaking with VW they wanted to change me nearly £200 to provide a replacement key and code it, surely there must be a more cost effective method. As I have the key blade can I buy the immobiliser part (attached to the key blade) get that coded by VW then program the central locking fob with a new uncoded key off ebay or am I best getting both parts from VW?

Hi Eddie

I can start the car but it dies 2-3 seconds later so can only imagine so it looks like the immobiliser is goosed. Scan from VCDS confirms this. :(

As it looks like i need a new transponder i was thinking about getting this and ordering a replacement transponder and keyblade from VW, they point blankly refuse to provide just the transponder- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1K0-959-753-G-434-MHZ-NEW-VW-THREE-3-BUTTON-FLIP-KEY-FOB-BLANK-/180752309933?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a15ad5ead

Any thoughts guys.

In summary. Can i just purchase a programmed immobiliser transponder (so the lower half of the key fob) and use a cheaper central locking buttons section from an ebay bought key?

Find it hard to believe you need the transponder but this answers most question:-

Check out this video on YouTube:

Tell me about it!

Had another look at the transponder and you can clearly see moisture inside the glass casing so can only assume it had been cracked for a while and it took a 45 minute wash at 30% to kill it  :sad1:

Just to clear this up. Vw take upto 3 weeks and cost approx 80 quid to get the flip key part with cut blade and transponder. Vcds and pin numbers alone will not program the key. A good auto locksmith would generally charge 110-170 for the job of supplying a spare remote key.
