Oops, Tiggy keys took a swim ...

Just got a quote from above vw

$194.00 for key ex Singapore 5 – 10 days. Key has to be coded by service department $60.00 approx.
$207.00 for remote key pad if required.

so that total is 463 odd for a new key we get ripped off so much in australia.

You're not wrong. A slight digression, but I have to pay more than double the US dollar cost for AutoCAD even though the Australian dollar is on parity or better than the US dollar! It is across the board, and they wonder why people buy online where they can.

just want to put it out there that vwvillage did me a key for around 360 today ... i put the car in for a service and said i only had 1 key which the guy told me they could do for 400 ... i told them to go ahead and do me 1 and then ended up only charging for 360 odd the same afternoon. once again very happy with their service.

makes you wonder the kind of bull **** vw tell you about having to get the key from the manufacturer.
