Volkswagen keys are tied into the security system for all our cars. This is why all keys need to be programmed to the vehicle’s Immobiliser system. Coding a replacement key for your vehicle requires specialised equipment available only at your Volkswagen dealer facilities as they are qualified to make remote control keys. We will need proof of ID and ownership of the vehicle, as for security, only the registered owner of the car can order a new key. Please contact your local authorised Volkswagen dealership to enquire about a replacement key for your vehicle.

Most of our engines require 95 or higher and some high-performance vehicle must use 98. As stipulated in the fuel flap. In the interests of both Power and Economy Volkswagen recommends always using the highest-octane fuel available. The owner’s manual will help to clarify this. It is the owner’s responsibility to use the correct fuel as per the manufacturer’s specs.

Please contact with one of our dealers, our network is represented at any one of the following locations. They can advise on the best options for your vehicle.

Servicing elsewhere does not automatically void the warranty. However servicing needs to be performed to Volkswagen standards including correct intervals using correct repair methods and genuine parts and correct lubricants. If a warranty defect occurs it may be declined if a connection can be made between the occurrence of the defect and improper servicing.

For 2021 models, this information is readily available in the vehicle spec sheets in our website. For older models please get in touch with your local Volkswagen dealer as they can advise further.
