Happened to a mate in his A5 and he called a locksmith who got in.  Only cost £40.

Should be possible with a Golf.

Agreed.
There is a finite number of keyblade combos, they will have it and get in without smashing anything.

Read this article which has some merit to it:-


Alternatively you could go in via the windscreen, they have a nasty habit of breaking when hit by flying debris and are not only more likely to be available same day but also some companies have a procedure to replace them with little outlay from yourself  :wink: :wink:

It's a ridiculous feature on the German range of cars. Iv done it twice to cars that are not mine luckily...

I thinks it's a sh*t feature. And when it happens is the worst thing ever!

Done the same thing to my Mrs old Mk4 and my old Mk5 (they have a deadlock).

If you can't wait for a locksmith to sort it out. pop as window.

Have a look at your windscreen excess on your insurance.

Windscreen claims do not affect your insurance price, doesnt go as a claim against you and they cover all windows...
