Hey guys,

A little help here. My key casing has aged and cracked. With the crack, it has flaked off a bit over time. Is there anyway in which I can take my complete key+internal workings and just transfer it into another of similar makeup?

I have been quoted R2000 by VW for a new key which is pathetic for metal and plastic. My key works perfectly, but if it cracks anymore, it will be useless :(

Hey,

This may help or may not.. but I was looking at doing the same thing my keys. Although they are not VW im sure its the same.

You can buy just the shell for about $10 online.. So have a look around. Then there will inevitably be a tutorial on how to transfer it.

I've been trying to find the same shell though, which I can't seem to do :( It would be super easy if I could find the shell because the blade is just pulled off, and the "guts" can clip out. But I can't transfer to a different shell due to the button placement.

Scrap yards?
 
Maybe they will give you one of those flip keys.. might be worth the cash?
