Title: Key cut?
Post by: lingl9z on 17 August 2010, 17:51

Hi basically I got one key with my golf which seem's to be a bit twisted! - do regular keycut shops have keys they can cut for them or do I litrally have to buy a blank key from somewhere to get it cut? if that makes any sence at all ?

Cheers Rich.

You should be able to get them to cut a key on a generic key but if you want one with the VW logo on then yes you would need to take the blank key to the shop  :smiley:

if they can cut it on a generic key that'll do for now just need to get a couple of copies as I'm more than sure this key will snap at some point being as twisted as it is lol.

Thanks for the reply =)

I got a vw logo key from ebay, it came from america, and i think it was old genuine stock. There are loads on ebay from hong kong, but i didnt want to get a cheap nasty one. When i took it to a local key cutters, they said they could have got the pattern blank, tho they had none in stock.

Im my searching, I found there may be a couple of options for the profile shape (code is like AH or something i think) so if you order one, check the shape matches, either with a picture of the product, or the code
