Hi,
I've recently had the misfortune of losing our only key to our '02 1.4TDi. We called out a local company who cut 2 new keys which allowed us to successful open and start the car, but they couldn't get the remote central locking to work.
This company are a reputable outfit and they tried various ways to reprogram the new keys, but have put the blame down to a faulty CCCU (our car has the notorious "Q" version).
I have a replacement CCCU on hand, but the key replacement company now want close to £300 just to reprogram the new keys when the new CCCU is fitted. I understood this should just be a 15 minute job as I already have the keys with the correct frequency, so it seems a bit steep to me.
Before I shell out I just wanted to ask the forum if they think this is the correct course of action, or if there are any other steps I should consider first? What are my options?
Thanks in advance.
Lloyd
