yes - they can make a key if you give them your chassis number

However they will still need it to program the key to the car

And yes breakdown companies will be able to get into your car

If i was you i'd get another key sorted ASAP  :smiley:

iv noticed on this website http://www.vagproducts.co.uk/keyfob.html

the model number which is nearest to mine is HLO IJO 959 753 A

but mine is HLO 1JO 959 753 A, does anyone know if that is just a error?

hmm could be an error

the 1JO denotes the MKIV chassis  :nerd:

why not drop them an email or call them to confirm  :smiley:
