either remove the clocks and read the number off the back or use VAG COM to interrogate your cluster and it will give you a part no.

General rule of thumb is pre 02 cars have Immob II and 02 cars onwards have Immob III

Sp guessing mine are 02? therefore is it still possibly to have miles to empty?

you can reset the mileage on your clocks  :lipsrsealed: think this only works with clocks which have less than 1000 miles on them and you can code new keys to the clocks too  :smiley:
