Hi, I have a 1985 Vanagon GL. I had one door key that worked and I bought a new ignition key lock, thought I was in pretty fair shape. That is until I lost the keys to the Vanagon, I kept seperate. This seperate key ring had the gas cap key, door key and ignition key. My ritual was to always put it in my right front pocket. We went to go to town the other morning, my keys were gone. We have torn everything up looking so many times.. we live in disaster land. We did have the spare ignition key for the new lock. I hate to make drastic changes, thinking my keys will show up some day. I have thought about installing a kill switch. One option would be to kill the gas pump circuit..? What would be the best way to install a kill circuit, and would you use a toggle switch..? I have priced door lock sets... gads.. like going to a dentist...? I was curious why the previous owner just had a key to one door, the right side..? Is there a number I can give a VW dealer and get a key that possibly will fit all my other locks except the right door..? The back door I of course never had a key for, but it seems to perhaps taken a different key...? ( Depth of lock ) when trying all the keys I could find anywhere. Thanks in advance..!
