VW Golf Mk III 1995 2.0 - Lost keys - Fixed #

Posted by Liam Hall on April 5, 2011, 8:43 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 1995

Hi lads, just a quick (hoping) technical query - I have just bought a golf estate off a dealer mate who has lost the keys.
If I order a new key from VAG, will I be able to code it myself with VCDS?
I understand I need a SKC or PIN, but how is this obtained?

Any info in the right direction will be greatly appreciated, as this will be a good learning curve for me, after only just getting the VCDS kit.

Cheers in advance.

Liam.

Hi Liam,

The system you have will be an external immo module. The immo module reads the transponder chip via the coil on the ign barrel. The pin code is stored in the immo module. VW cannot supply you with the pin as the programming is done online. They used to be able to but not for a long time now. Some of these had the pin on a label on the immo box so that’s worth a look. There are many people who can read the pin from the module. Failing that, possibly the cheapest way would be to buy a used module with matching key and ign barrel. Once the key and module match then your VCDS will be able to introduce the immo and engine modules to each other.

Well sort of.
My mate rang yesterday to say he had found the keys, and he dropped them round in the afternoon.
He was shall we say, gutted!
Strangeley enough, the keys are not vag keys, and have no chip, so I would have been fine just getting a key from TPS!

Thanks for all the input.

Liam.
