First post so go easy.

Just acquired a Golf MK 5 TDi. Typically it comes with 1 key, the 3 button style, open, lock and hatch.

Have spent a good while looking how best to get another key but avoiding the £160 cost at the dealer that is suggested.

So far I have found the information below. It is even somewhere on this site.

I need to ensure I know the correct part no before getting one of these keys possibly via eBay. I understand it is in the fob somewhere. I am reluctant to start pulling it apart just in case it breaks. Therefore, could someone possibly try and describe how to dissect the fob so I can see the number.

I am then hoping that somebody here can fix it up to work from the dagta stored on my key. I do not have the SKC but have read keys have been copied like Timpsons can do but sadly not for this key.


Any advice or solid way forward woud be appreciated.
