Good morning Hardy, I believe it's located between the LED indicator and the key release button.

Yes, see at about 4:05 here: VW Golf KEY chip immobiliser location HOW TO DISMANTLE VW SEAT SKODA AUDI remote / rozbor klúča - YouTube

Are you sure you need the 'innards replacing?  You can find replacement shells online and just transplant your old innards and key into the new case.

My light doesn’t even flash when I press the buttons I’ve changed the battery 4 times using different brands and still don’t even flash 🤣,, guessing it’s knackered so would need a new board and hope that makes the light work and then see about syncing it up

guessing something like this would be about right ??? 

If you change the immobiliser and also (I believe) the board you would have to recode the key to the car.  I've never had to do that but there should be plenty of 'howtos' on the Tube.

Was going to take my immobiliser glass tube out of my key and stick it on the new board and then put that in the new housing,,,
