New key help

Post by Estoril-5 »

Hi All,

I've recently purchased my second Passat diesel after a hiatus and ended up with a great 12 reg 2.0tdi BMT.

It only came with 1 key as the owner had lost the other with his wallet on a train somewhere.

Anyway, it just came with the one key and I'm looking to get another as back up.

A bit of googling suggests a VW dealer purchase only as these keys can't be coded/programmed.

Is this true? And how much am I looking at for a new one, I fear its going to be pricey Image

Also the fob I have has a plastic key blade, I thought it should be metal, can any shed any light on this?

Here's a few pics

P.s. I searched for key using the search function but Tapatalk doesn't give any results for less than 4 letters, apologies if this has been asked beforeImageImage
