As an independent mobile auto locksmith based in Durham, I work on Volkswagens right across the North East.

    Types of Volkswagen Keys We Replace

    Older blade keys

    Basic transponder keys found on early Polo, Golf Mk4 and Passat B5 models. A simple cut blade with a chip — cheaper to replace and quicker to code.

    Remote fob keys

    The familiar VW two and three-button remote with a flip-out blade. Found on the Golf Mk5, Mk6, Mk7, Polo and Passat. Programs to the car's immobiliser.

    MQB platform keys

    Modern VWs (Golf Mk7 onwards, T-Cross, T-Roc, Tiguan) use the MQB platform with stronger security. These need specialist equipment but I program them at your location.

    Proximity / KESSY keys

    VW's keyless entry and start system on Tiguan, Passat, Touareg and the ID. range. Stays in your pocket while you unlock, start and drive.

    Caddy and Transporter van keys

    VW van keys including the Caddy and T5 / T6 Transporter. Common with sole traders and tradespeople — same on-site service.

    How Much Does Volkswagen Key Replacement Cost?

    Volkswagen key replacement typically costs between £120 and £300 depending on the model and key type.

    What affects the price:

    • Key type — a basic remote is cheaper than a KESSY proximity smart key
    • Model and year — MQB platform VWs take longer to code
    • Spare key vs all keys lost — losing all keys requires a full system reset
    • Whether the blade needs cutting from the lock or from a code

    VW main dealers will normally quote much more and ask you to recover the car. I quote up front, charge no call-out fee and never add VAT to the bill.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most VW keys fall between £120 and £300 fitted and coded at your location. A Polo or Golf Mk6 remote sits at the lower end. Newer Tiguan or ID. range KESSY proximity keys sit at the higher end.
