Volkswagen Key Replacement: Fob, Blade or Both

Every Volkswagen key pairs a cut metal blade with electronic guts — a transponder chip and a remote circuit. When a VW key stops working, the blade is rarely the problem; the electronics are. Knowing the difference saves you money.

We test your existing key before quoting anything. If the blade is fine but the fob has died, you only pay for the fob side of the job. If the blade is worn or snapped, we cut a fresh one and transfer or reprogramme the electronics to match.

VW Spare Keys

A spare VW key is one of the best-value jobs in car ownership. Duplicated from your working key, it gives you a full backup — blade, chip and remote — in a single mobile visit.

Households sharing a Golf or a Polo, new drivers, and anyone whose VW came with a single key should all consider a second. It turns a future lost key from an emergency into a shrug.

VW Key Fob Replacement

VW fobs live hard lives: dropped on driveways, sat on, soaked in rain. Worn buttons and cracked cases are common, and where a repair or a new shell will genuinely fix it, that is what we recommend first.

When the circuit board itself has failed, we supply and code a replacement fob for your Volkswagen. Locks, unlock, boot release and the immobiliser handshake are all tested on your car before we consider the job done.

Golf and Other Volkswagen Keys

The Golf is the VW we make keys for most, from older flip keys to current keyless fobs — but the same service covers the Polo, Passat, Tiguan and the wider Volkswagen range. One process fits them all: diagnose, cut, code, test.

Your registration or VIN tells us exactly which key system your VW uses, so send it on WhatsApp and we will confirm your options and your exact price before we travel.

Our price promise

Every job is different — the price depends on your car's make, model, year and the type of key or lock involved. That's why we always confirm your exact price before any work starts: message us on WhatsApp with your registration or VIN and we'll quote you upfront. The price we agree is the price you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace just the blade or just the fob on my VW key?
Yes. A Volkswagen key is a blade plus electronics, and we can replace either side independently. We test your key first and only quote for what has actually failed — so you never pay for a whole new key when a blade or a fob alone will fix it.
Do you do Volkswagen Golf key replacement?
Yes — the Golf is one of the cars we make keys for most, covering flip keys, remote fobs and keyless fobs. We cut the blade, code the transponder and pair the remote at your car, testing everything before we leave.
How much is a VW spare key?
It depends on whether your VW uses a basic remote key or a keyless fob, and on the model and year. Send your registration on WhatsApp and we will confirm your exact price before any work starts — the price we agree is the price you pay.
What information do you need to make a Volkswagen key?
Your registration or VIN lets us identify the exact key system, the car needs to be present for coding and testing, and we ask for proof of ownership such as the V5C or photo ID. With those three, the job runs smoothly in a single visit.
