    Can i get my MK3 key cut onto one of those VW/Audi flip keys? The ones when you press a button and the key flips out of the side. Is there anything similar if you cant?

    Cheers

    Look here.

    It won't work if you have an immobiliser key.

    Or maybe tell us where to get the new key from. I've tried VW main dealers, breakers yards & ebay...if its one thing i get done over christmas it's going to be this (well, the heater matrix needs doing as well)

    you can cut the transponder out of your old key and drill a hole in the new one inside and silicon seal the transponder in. Thats what I did and it works fine. It just has to be very close to the ignition (within 2cm ish!).

    The problem is getting a bloody key in the first place! Thought about going down the local nick to see if there's any lost & unclaimed keys down there i could pinch off them!!! Must be worth a try

    If enough people are SERIOUSLY interested and dont mind paying no more than (but possibly close to) 50 for a blank Mercedes style flip key to fit a Golf Mk3 let me know, I think I may be able to get hold of some.

    But will need to order around 10 min. So email me at adam.rigby@dubbed.co.uk ASAP!!!!!

    Transponder key people..see below
