I lose my keys all the time 9 times out of 10, they turn up somewhere unexpected. I have only changed the lock in my slider and that was easy, not sure aboout others. It will cost for a set of locks and keys, but keep an eye out on ebay, they turn up now and again.
Good luck.

Try one of the scrappers, they might have complete sets available.

If you can get into the van (try the sliding door lock they usually open with any key) then you can remove one of the locks, find the key number on it, go to vw order new key £5.50 ish and they will cut it to your lock.
This assumes that all the locks are the same, if not then now might be the time to get them all tumbled to the same key. Simon at Brickyard offers this service, but if your dealer is like mine then they might help you if you take them all in. They won't give out the info for you to do it yourself though.
Give me a call if you need to know more 01925 495351
