it will definatly have one, otherwise the car wouldnt start! your probably looking at it but dont realise it as its not a chip as such, its a very small black rectangle in the upper left. but answering your question yes it will have one.

I have no experience with this, but I've heard elsewhere that some standard keycutters may be able to chip keys. Ask around, otherwise it's off the wonderfully expensive glass VW building for inflated prices :)

Can I cut in on this thread?

Mine, R Reg 98, came with the keys below. One non-light VW key; one immobiliser/alarm fob; and an override key in the event of the battery going flat.

The immobiliser is a GT immobiliser/alarm. I take it this isn't a VW item?

How would I go about gettting light key as my main key. Only VW?

So it's not just a one off. Does anyone know if this is a VW immobiliser/alarm system?
