New Key, Which Profile?
« on: 13 May 2008, 20:27 »
I'm after a new key (need to get a spare cut), but don't really know what profile I'm after.

My current key says HU49 on it, but on Ebay all I can find is HV and AH profile keys (both apparently for a Mk2)... Bit confused as to which one (if either!) I need  :sad: Help!

I think AH, they're the most common on fleebay
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
