Hi, just got my first golf , a 2001 MK4 1.4 standard petrol.
I just have a question about the key fob for the alarm and locking/unlocking of the car, My key fobs in very poor condition and I'm looking to either get a replacement fob or a new case that i can take the component out of the old one or something but I'm looking for advise, I've been looking on ebay at fobs which come with uncut keys and new unprogrammed transponders but I'm dont want to have to pay loads to get the key programmed. I also don't want to go to a VW dealer and pay around €200 for a new key and fob.
Here is a picture of the current key and fob
I am just wondering if anyone can tell me if i could get the fob off ebay and program it myself, something like this one ( http://cgi.ebay.ie/VW-VOLKSWAGEN-GO...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ae17504dc ) or if i could just get a case to put the current fob component in or something?
Thanks
