On my 2016 Superb Mk 111 2.0 the key has come detached.

I noticed a crack in the casing.

Do I have to get a replacement from a dealer, or is it something I can fix myself.

I’ve done a quick google, where it seems to can get replacement fob cases, but can’t see how you would insert your original key.

Fortunately I have a spare, but for peace of mind would like to have a spare again.

Thank you.

If your metal 'blade' in the key is broken, you should have it remade by any key specialist shop, is only the machining needed. The electronic part of the key is separated from it.

I would advise against homemade attempts to "glue" this together, if your lucky you it will break in your pocket and you will lose the metal blade part, if you are unlucky it will snap when the key is in the door lock .. and you can guess how that saga would continue 😁

Thanks for reply.

It doesn’t seem the actual key is broken, it’s the metal casing the key goes into, where there is a crack in it, hence the key falling out.

So not sure how you go replacing that, do you just get a new fob and the key slides in from the inside going outside somehow maybe?

Does this help? - looks like you might only need the chromed hinge corner piece:

Appreciate it's a different style, but if your key blade isn't broken it looks relatively straightforward to me.

Yes, that does look straight forward.

But video doesn’t quite show how the old key fits into the new hinge though.
