HI,

Can anybody help. My son has managed to lock the keys in the car, I'm 200 miles from the spare set and the phone number for Skoda assitance is also in the car. Who do I call, what will they do?

Thanks

Call the AA or RAC for assistance if a member, or

contact police on your behalf to the AA or RAC.

gain entry into your vehicle.

Thanks,

Have phoned Skoda Assitance and the guy should hopefully be here soon. JUst got to hope that he can get in now.

Thankyou Skoda Assistance. They have been out were in the car within 10 mins and I now have the keys back. Not going to make that mistake again!

How did they do it if you don't mind me asking?

I know the AA/RAC have a book of how to break into every car. If the OP wants to tell us do it via PM as I don't want knowledge of that freely available

And I will remove any public "how-to" methods as well. Good to know it was got back though. Rule of thumb. When unlocking the car NEVER EVER leave the keys out of your pockets, etc. Unlock, PUT KEYS BACK IN POCKET!

Sorry didn't mean to take the post to such details. Just wan't to know my car's weakness besides the old breaking the window routine.

I'll PM those who really want to know how they got in, but it was proved to me that the fabia is probably one of the toughest cars to get into. Was reassuring to know it was difficult for a trained professional but worrying as to whether they would have to go for breaking the window routine.

Glad they got in the car! Although tbh I'm pretty worried now.

Don't be! Just follow the above and all is well!

My wife locked us out of the car while in Scotland, it took the RAC an hour to get there and another hour to get in the car. If it happens again it will be a brick through the window.

Glad it all ended well

Tried this recently at 1am on a Fiat Van quarter light window (lowest cost and easiest to replace) with a large, sharp flint stone and even after 6 very loud massive swings, it wouldn't break. Had to get taxi home to get spare key only to remember house keys were on the same ring as the van key

Fortunately, neighbour had a key but wasn't too pleased to be woken up

Still got to replace window - it's got massive chips and scratches on it.

Cookiene, I've pm'd you mate...have a read it could be useful. Cheers.

Could I get the info too? I am looking into a VRS and I carry out quite expensive gear in my car that is too big/heavy to carry around so would be nice to know the weakness as above.

Same here

question, how do you 'lock' the keys in the car?

i know my vrs mk1 will auto lock if i press the tit then dont open the door but once opened and then shut it just stays open or was he in the boot using boot unlock only?

is the mk2 different??

plzzzzz pm to me the method...

friend has her keys into the boot of the car, and the car has locked itself! :peek:

skoda has quoted £180-200 for a replacement, but house and work keys r also on there.

no key cover on insurance, and no rac/aa cover... plz help! would be so gratefully appreciated!... really don't want to break the window :(

I think the method involves using a potato:

Phil

Could you please pm me, how they did it ...

I am the same problem .. and the skids guys are suggesting me to break the glass as only option ...

I am so stupid that I put the keys on the dash and left the key inside ...

Would really appreciate your help..

Thanks
