Cheapest replacement VW car keys?

gaiscioch

I need a spare key for a 2014 VW. Where would be the cheapest place to get this spare/replacement key, and how much should I expect to pay in 2023? Thanks.

Do you need the blade or the complete fob or what. I'd look on €bay for blank blades and a remote on the same frequency as my own. If you need a virgin transponder they sell them there as well. Most locksmiths will cut the blade.

Depending on where you are and how quickly you need it, I would recommend Autokey in Dublin. I got a new key for an Opel there for less than €200. Would have been cheaper if I didn't want the central locking controls on it and just the transponder and simple key. Might be worth a phonecall anyway.

Ring around, ring ahead for best deal. Most big locksmiths can cut keys etc. As said it depends on needs, do you have a working key etc.

Try a dealer first, it might surprise you. New remote control key for my car was about €100 including coding

when I needed one.

Ah. The talk of 'blades' etc is new to me. I can find this in Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=replacement+vw+jetta+key&crid=3L7VEVMVMU52P&sprefix=replacement+vw+jetta+key%2Caps%2C85&ref=nb_sb_noss

If I were to buy one of those, I assume I then need a "blade"? How do I know which"blade" to get for my specific car, or is the "blade" just metal which a local keycutter would cut to my key size? Thanks.

Any of the VW ones will fit.

Just to update, I paid €160 for a replacement key (including remote central locking, etc) in Instant Solutions in Nutgrove Shopping Centre, Rathfarnham. The man there, Darren, did it in 10 minutes.
