hi mate,
well i don't know how much the steelers will charge to cut the key, but i just had my keys re-coded, an they charge me ?35.
but if you get it cut an re-coded, may cost you a little more than that.
hey if them keys that you buy from e-bay work, let us know because i only got one key for my 99 GTI T, and let me know how much it cost in total
cheers mate
