no its done off your chassis number - the cost comes with programming the new key to the immobiliser

50 pounds www.vagproducts.co.uk  :smiley:

Plus cutting and programming.... 

Note the VAGproducts key only suits some vehicle types, luckily mine is one of them!   :smiley:  Check the part number inside the fob before you buy one!!!!

I'm waiting on getting the barrels from the prev owner, then plan to get another key made up too.  I hate having the one key, I walk over drain covers with it in my hand and break into a cold-sweat!

They sell for £30 on ebay, you can program them yourself if you already have a remote key. You need to check the serial number and frequency of the circuit board on your current one though and match it. Dealers rip you off it doesnt take them any effort or time to program a remote.
