ZippyVR6 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Thought it might be a good idea to get a replacement key cut as I only have the one. Stealers reckon 15 for the key (fair doos) but 45 quid to match the chip to the imobiliser?????? I wasn't aware of one on the car other than on the microscan alarm. am I being Duped??? also he tried to tell me that my car although registered in 92 had a 93 chassis? is this cowboy or were there some super efficient production techniques?

dinkus 10 Posted July 13, 2005 It is true that the 93+ 'dubs had chip keys which means they have to program the key. However, I didn't think that any of the 'rados needed keys programming and even if they do, my local stealers quoted me £35 (I guess +VAT) for both the key and the programming on my Mk3 Golf key.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 13, 2005 Yeah you can't make a chassis in 93 and register it in 92, LOL! 95 Corrados with the CP ECU have to have immobilser keys but the prices sound steep...must be the 30% C Tax they add on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted July 13, 2005 well i read somewhere that reading was one of the highest charging places outside london for main dealer servicing. might just phone around some others. but surely if it doesnt need a chip then there is no match to be made.

daves16v 1 Posted July 13, 2005 Cost me £22 for a new key cut and chip programmed when I first had my valver about 2.5 years ago. Local shop did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Local shop did it. Locla shop, you say? Had my keys reprogrammed at the $tealers recently, 5 minute job and they charge £53 for the pleasure :x ZippyVR6: Prise your current keys apart, if there's a little metallic rectangular block in the corner, then the $tealers are probably right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted July 23, 2005 The year code is the letter in the chassis number WVW ZZZ (insert year letter) W123456. The year code runs from August I think it is, thats why everyone gets wet pants about the MK1 Campaign and EW chassis numbers. 90 spec Golfs came out in late 89.
