Replacement VW Keys?

[Foxhound]

Alright, this may be an idiot question so please bear with me.

I've just picked up my Polo (55 reg, current model) yesterday but as it turns out one of the keys was lost by the previous owner and the one that's left is all scratched on the casing. I'm told it should be about £25 for a new key and all they require is the chassis number, would that be accurate?

Also is there a limit on the amount of keys I can request, and how long does it take to get them?

Just got a replacement key for my Passat (2004 model).

VW wanted the V5 and identification. Key was ordered and took about 2 weeks. Cost - sill money - something like £100+.

Does your Polo have a flip-out push button key or just the billy basic one?

The fancy ones work out to about 180 once you've paid for the, key, VAT and coding.

Yeah I also heard the flip keps like the ones below are nearly £200 to replace through a dealer at rrp

Phoned Specialist Cars (local VW Dealer) this afternoon, they first wanted the registration to see if it was in their system (it wasn't, my registration went on on monday) gave them the old reg, it popped up immediately. They asked if it had remote central locking or key central and I can expect a call in 3 working days to collect and have it coded. Seems alarmingly easy.

It's an E so it'll just have the 'billy basic' key with the Pushable VW badge to turn a little light on. The remote central lcoking only comes in on the SE & Match upwards I think

had this problem when I bought my wifes gti, ...what a rip off! couldn't get rid of the car fast enough
after that and a few other things, I like you bought with one key missing thinking it wasn't a big deal , thing that got me was the dealer could't even give me a definite price over the phone or didn't want to as I think he was embarrased by 130£ estimate.

lol, I think my key cost me £5 from Timpsons
