Caddy key

Post by Tim590 »

Hi can any body recommend a key cutting and programming person, I’ve purchased a 2018 caddy and it only has one key so I need to have a spare sorted, ideally Essex based. Thank you

Is it possible to have a key coded without the van present?

Just thinking if anyone can offer a postal service

I think that's a no, may depend on the year. Pretty sure you can't, certainly with mine as it's a 2015 the PIN code required is hard to obtain from the immobiliser so it's very unlikely anyone can do a postal key for you. Unless it was a duplicate copy of the existing one (ghost copied) which could I guess, be done.

Hmmm !

Mk4 2018 is not a good year for keys :(

My local Timpson said they are not the same as previous years and are a right pain.

I didn't ge a key done in the end. I think he said they have to get the keys fom VW so it's expensive.

Check with a Timpson that is actually a VW coding branch - Not all are.

Good luck
