I only got one key with my car. Any advice on where I should go to get a spare and how much this is likely to cost me

Thanks :confused:

The only sure way of getting one with the plip remote and immobiliser functions operating correctly would be to go to a Skoda dealer. I've heard tell of cheaper alternatives on Fleabay, but they have a habit of going pear-shaped.

Do you have the SKC code?

This code is needed to recode the new key, without this code it will be dealer only and will cost over £100.

If you have the code then someone with VCDS can recode the new key.

I agree on sure way of getting key but at £120 to £160 It aint cheap.

I aint gonna get into the whole which is better way of doing it ....but ebay keys can be had and programmed to car for around 50% of skodas price and a bit of running around compared to the stealers way.

The 3 things you need

1 , new key with same part no as your old one that currently works

2 , new transponder(sometimes not needed)

3 , software and cable to get skc(if not got already) and code the key

all the above can be had for around £50 to £70 if you search hard enough.

I would recommend the dealers tho if you have not got the time or dont wanna put effort in

I'm in the same position, but I only need an "unlocking" key, not a "driving" key, hence I don't think I need the immobilizer to work with it. Are all keys the same? I mean, ordering a new key with the same part number means it will unlock my doors? (these part numbers are unique i suppose )

The part number for the key blade is for a blank blade, which needs cutting to the lock pattern.
