No it won't (engines are fairly different, at least 3 2.0 8v were used in GTIs).... check which part number yours got and get the same. then get keys paired.

Just take out your ECU, get the code/part No. off it and buy a spare, theres always a healthy amount on the bay for a good price, think I've got 2 in my garage.
from memory, the AGG had 7 different ECU's, the ADY had 4 and the 2E had 3, not like VW to mix it up a little bit lol  :smiley:
