VW Polo Lost Keys - cockneycooky
My son has managed to lose both sets of keys to his 96 VW polo 1.4.CL.

It is now locked up on the drive and we have no way of getting in a moving it...great..

The car has the keys with a chip for the imobiliser (no remote fob)

Anybody help with the best and cheapest way forward..

Cheers

Dave

get the AA to break into it,,,then get the ecu number then goto the dealer for some keys,,,,,could cost you £1000
no kidding

they might say you have to replace the ecu the imobiliser the door locks the boot lock

Rather than go to the extreme of breaking in.Give the chassis No to VW they should be able to give correct key/program it for the ecu..Cannot comment on cost.But I would not break in

Forgive me but would a 1984 Polo have an ECU controlled immobiliser or is it an aftermarket one?

Oh dear. If its a '96 model then you will need to involve the dealer I think. And it will not be cheap!!

i didnt mean break in,,as in break something to get in

i meant that the AA can get in without hurting any thing,,,unlike a thief who would smash a window..
go see the AA man,,if your a member.....
then at least you can open the bonnet and boot for any info you need...vin number is visible from the outside,,but ecu number isnt..
