Hi, I'm in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

thanks cataldo

ps, what about the issue of not having a number?

Cataldo,

Which "key number" do you mean?

If you are meaning the SKC number for the imobiliser then Audi won't and indeed can't give you that number any more!!

What about the "tag" with a key number on?

The manual for my car says I should have a small plastic tag with the two keys which I can use to have new keys cut/programmed but I did not recieve it. I'm trying to work out if you still get them as the manual is a bit old.

Thanks,

Gareth.

I have no plastic tags anywhere

I think the policy of issuing plastic key number tag stopped sometime ago. I got my car brand new and was never given one, I asked about it as it was mentiond in the manual and was told the Audi policy had changed. If I needed a key cut they said Audi Germany would supply one based on my chassis number and production of my registration documents.

just called Audi dealer in Peterborough to get a price - for a 3 button key, which needs to be ordered from Audi Uk and takes up to 5 days to arrive. then I just need to take in my log book and Identification. Key itself costs £120+ Vat and Coding costs £27+ Vat

does that sound like the right sort of price?

Hi there,

£172 including VAT sounds about right for a dealer, maybe a bit less than I first thought!!

If you can get the key cheaper then I would and take them up on the £27 +vat for coding it!!

That is unless, you can get that cheaper too!!

but I guess I would have to get the key, and then get it cut hey? probably not worth it?

It all depends how much you value a one stop shop!!

If you think paying Audi to do the whole thing is worth the extra, then thts the way to go.
If you don't mind waiting a bit longer and running around a bit then hunting out a key on eBay and getting it cut at your local locksmiths and then getting it programmed may be a cheaper/better way to go!!
