SKODA FABIA DOOR LOCK SET on eBay, also, Skoda, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 23-Apr-08 22:11:26 BST)

If I bought this instead of a door-lock refurb kit ???

I only have one working door barrel at the moment. I use a key similar to the one in the auction to open my door from the passenger side, then use the vRS flip-key to start the car. Would I be able to easily fit these locks, and would it need any coding to work with that key?

Thanks.

You would need the key to work with the imobiliser.

Why not just buy a set of keys off a written off fabia VRS and use them or are there issues with the key and the convenience unit?

Coding is the issue. I already have a different ignition key coded, than I use for the door lock. Just wondered if I would need to recode with vagcom once I have thse new barrels in?

Would solve all the issues if I could get the absolute method of fitting my spare vRS convenience ECU without cocking something up and making my car undriveable.....

I don't see why anything would need coding as long as you use the old transponder with the new locks / blade.

Why not buy the lock set and get a new blade cut for your flip key to match the lock set, I have used a company before who will cut one from an e-mailed photo. Replace the blade in the flip key (they are held in with a roll pin), then you can use your flip key without having to re-code anything. Obviously the original key that comes with the lock set will need coding to the immobiliser if you ever need it to start the car.
