Hey Folks Happy new year and all that Jazz hope you all had a good one ,right today i locked my 1.9TDI Octavia and the bloody key went snap one half is inside the locked boot lock and the other is dangling from my keys ,I lock and open the car from the boot normally (drivers door lock is faulty) got a shot of a workmates Clio and drove the 70 miles home to get spare key ,got it drove all the way back to the car and found that my spare key is not for my car at all (think on closer inspection its a Fabia key ) my question is .....does it have to be a Skoda dealership that i phone or would i be cheaper to call a private company ,Can private companys cut and code keys? and basicly what would you do!

thanks folks

Olly:confused:

phew at least someones spelling is mutch worse than mine

Well that helped,

btw you are very funny you should consider a career in comedy

Soz mate could resist.Sorry to hear about the problem,do you not have a keyfob to open the doors?

Did you try the search facility its very handy

My first task would have been to get the rest of the key out of the lock before some scroat does, and takes the car!

Failing that i'm sure Stu will be along soon.

A basic key is around £40 + VAT from a dealer. To get it programmed you need the Secret Key Code (SKC). Have you got any key numbers and the SKC?, if not it will be best to get it to a dealer who will have the resources to sort it out.

The cars in getting fixed now got a brand new fabia 1 1.2 HTP from the garage to run about in till mine is fixed and for what it is, its a good wee car quite quick and turns on a penny, still, cant wait to get mine back!
