Title: GTI Key
Post by: charv94 on 07 March 2015, 13:22: Car has arrived and is at the dealership ready for collection april, went in today to sort my plate and just handover dates etc, I was just wondering is the key supposed to have any gti's logos on it?

the business manager's GTI had logo on the key, but mine didn't??

he seemed to also think that the reason might be keyless? and that nothing could really be done now because these are the keys?

is he correct?

Mine are still in the glovebox. Never got round to changing them over although surely the dealer should have done this :huh: :huh:

A T6 is needed. If you're not getting these with the car then someone at the dealership is pocketing them. They should be fitted as part of your PDI.
