Hi All,

Can you get another key cut when the original has been broken in half and use it to cut a new one.
Lent my van to my dad and he managed to break the only key.
He replaced it with one of them spiral push on things and i had a hell of a job getting the spiral out of the filler neck when it decided to part company with the cap.

Anyone got a spare cap and key they want to sell. ? key must match cap though. van is a petrol syncro

Volkswagen have 3 new keys in stock at Milton Keynes, £5.77 +vat, part number 251837219A if you have both halves of the broken key get timpsons to cut the new key following the profile of the old one.

hope this helps.

On a similar note (excuse the hijack!) my syncro is all on one key but the filler cap has lost it's lock cover/flap. Anyone got a dead one that I could dismantle for the vital bit? Yes I know this is turning into a wanted thread - should have been there in the first place maybe...?

Both my syncros can use the others keys for the fuel cap if you see what i mean Try a blank one and it might work too.

I have both, maybe they are just worn. Both syncro keys though of it makes any difference.

The cap is the same regardless of type of fuel.
All the locks are the same too.
All locks can be matched to a key (so long as the lock is in a fit state) except the ignition.
We do a fair few, biggest problem at the moment is knackered, worn locks.

You want new lock barrels? Clicky

Mine are dirrent types of caps, will put pic's up later.

Syncro 'velle/van cap is not the same as a 2wd one, but the same as pickup, syncro or not!
Does that make some sense to "more speed" ?

I got new keys cut at Abel alarms £5 each including cutting, they had the right blanks on their standard car key board, they were very helpful and the keys work perfectly despite the originals being very worn
