Volkswagen Polo car wont start still

Could also be the transponder unit is not reading the key .Re. price , see below.


" Hi Guys,

I have lost my Polo Car Key and funnily enough I haven't got a spare key.

The car is an X REG VW Polo 1.0 e, it hasn't got central locking or anything. It is the one before the bubble shape model.

I was wondering if it has got a chip to start the engine or it hasn't?

I got a quote off a local guy and he said £130, so I am slightly cautious whether to believe whether there is a chip that needs to be programmed in the key. "

Nope, the do decode the key, there IS a transponder chip in the key, we will decode the key, not match to an existing key other wise pepole could find your key and steall your car, we charge around £90-110 depended on what types of key you have, I.e flip/lighted/ or normal, and that is main dealer price

And

Sorry mate thats too much, main dealer has actually quoted me £109 for a new key and coding. Thing is it isn't a central locking key, just a standard key with a small chip.

How much just for cutting the key?

Thanks

well i work for timpsons and i have an mvp pro car coding machine so if i reset my reader ill have to re code the chip to the reader but the key uses a pre coded 99 chip which have bits of code locked in the chip and will still need re programming and this obvs cost me nothing could i do this ?
