Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Missing Fob - Where best to buy?

    Hi All,
    We just pucrhased a 2018 B8 comfortline and when we went to collect we were only given 1 key/fob.

    We need to buy another (or maybe 2) and would prefer not to spend dealer prices. Is there somewhere that suplies OEM. We have our independent service guy who can program for us.

    Thanks kindly in advance.

            That's reasonable. Can you tell me which dealer? Last I spoke with it was almost 600 dollars.
            Thanks for your help

                Search around the local key cutters. We found one near us with the technology to cut Mk3 and V Golf and Skoda keys and charges around $120 per. That's Buranda shopping centre Brisbane also, sorry. Probably not quite enough savings to warrant a day trip?

                    Ok maybe that's outside their scope. I had no trouble getting the whole fob replaced for the MkV, they just needed one to copy from .
