    The key fob could only need as battery as said,the doors will be deadlocked so even if you get in through the boot you won't be able to get the deadlock open without the key or key fob unlocking the doors.

    Will I not be able to open the locks with the switch on the inside of the door when the key is in the ignition?:confused:

    Got in through the boot with the help of a 3ft prize bar.
    The guy in the VW garage says he will fix the lock barrel for 25 euro.

    The key is fairly wrecked so got one cut today but need to have old key beside it, better then 250 for new one.

    Thanks for the replies:)
