Can I get original VW keys based on my VIN number, at the dealer (or direct from VW?) Also can replacement door lock cylinders be ordered keyed to the vehicle? I cannot operate the lock on the side (sliding) door on my van using the key it came with (a duplicate, and unfortunately the only key I have). My first thought is that the duplicate is worn or poorly cut, and just not good enough to operate the lock. The other possibility is that the side door lock has been replaced at some point. The key I have does work in all the other locks (ignition, both front doors, and rear hatch). Allan -- 1991 GL |
