Hi team_v and boys/girls

On ur advise, I've got my blade key cut at a automotive locksmith this morning. just a recap... I was given a free brand new transponder w key for another VW. I had the transponder recoded for my car and it locks/unlocks the doors fine. But since the key that came w it had the wrong cutting, I cldnt start the car w it.

The new transponder w wrong blade:


I bought a aftermarket shell w blank flop blade from eBay (shipped from HK) cos I want to swap the flip blade over to the new transponder. Had the blank blade cut this morning in a place in Altona VIC. Here it is:



The cut wasn't too bad and seemed to follow the grooves of my original key. So I'm happy w that.

Got a couple of questions, which may appear to silly:
The locksmith told me not to insert the key into the ignition because 'it may reset the system' and only try using it to unlock or lock the doors. If I try inserting the key into the ignition and try starting the car, would it b ok if I unlock the car first w my transponder in my pocket? Since the transponder is not connected to the new cut key?

2ndly, how do u swap the new blade key over to the original new VW transponder casing? I saw that photo where the key casing 'splits' halfway. But the blade is on the other half which holds the chip inside I believe? The locksmith said "don't try to open up the original VW casing because u will break something inside n not be able to use the remote. U cannot swap the key over." he's an old guy so I'm not entirely convinced that it can't be done. Anyone did a flip blade swap before, could kindly advise please??

That one is a bit out of my league to be honest.
I only got a standard blade cut as a spare to take into the surf while i leave the oem key hidden safely away.

I know that when i use the key blade to unlock the door you have to re-lock the door first before it will allow you to unlock with the key blade, so that may help.

Might be best to call or email a dealer to ask about the other issues.
I believe the key has to be encoded to match your ecu so it may only work for the doors until it is coded correctly (the expensive bit)

Thanks for that mate. I'll have a ask around.

Btw... Has anyone seen this....???

I'm with you V. Too much money and nowhere near enough brains to match the bucks

I must miss something in this project. All of the dough doing up the Tiggy and it has a 170hp diesel!!!! Dont get me wrong, I've got nothing against diesel's but they arent the performance side of the available engines. All show and no go just doesnt seem right to me, but, each to their own I suppose.

[HaywireTig]

Lol yes I realized that. I was hoping to see if there was a whole heap performance upgrades that perhaps I could draw some inspiration on since I too am driving a diesel. But nope! Hahaha even the intake is stock.

Dear V and others.

After quite a wait, the Tiggy finally received its APR Stage 1 Upgrade today. Holy Cow. I am 54 and have owned approximately 20 cars over my adult life. Most of them, except for when the kids were little, have had some form of modification. Some had far too much money spent on them for not a massive return.

57KWS FOR LESS THAN $1500. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING.

Without a doubt this is the best upgrade of any vehicle I have ever done. I have been buzzing around for a 'quiet' 200ks this evening. It goes like the clappers with the foot down, yet is smooth and still completely driveable.

The car looks completely stock, which other than the APR flash, it is. I am going to have some fun with this baby. Loved the Tiggy in total stock form, but this is truly awesome.

The crew at CVWC at Belconnen were fabulous. This was their first flash of the new system and they put their heads down and bum up and were VERY thorough.

Thank you for all of your research and encouragement.

Cheers

Glad to be of assistance.
I had the same feeling when i got mine done, it's like night and day from the 125/132.
