Volkswagen Auto Locksmith
Central Scotland
Xhorse VVDI2 covers every Volkswagen model — all Golf generations, all Transporter variants, ID electric range and everything between. No year limits. All keys lost, spare key or proximity programming at your location.
Volkswagen Key Services — VVDI2 Is the Definitive VAG Tool
Volkswagen and the wider VAG Group (Audi, SEAT, Skŏda, Porsche) use a common IMMO architecture across their platform range. Xhorse VVDI2 is the tool built specifically for this architecture — not a generic approach. It communicates directly with VW’s IMMO protocols at a depth that general OBD machines cannot reach, and it covers all VAG transponder types across every platform generation from the older MK5/6 to the current MQB Evo used in Golf MK8 and the ID electric range.
All-keys-lost on a Golf MK7 or MK8 is one of the most common calls I receive. With VVDI2, I generate a new key from the vehicle’s VIN data, cut the blade on-site and programme the transponder and remote functions simultaneously. ECU key codes are cleared — any previously lost or stolen keys are permanently disabled. Transporter T5/T6/T6.1 and Crafter are equally covered, which makes VVDI2 the go-to solution for VW van operators in Central Scotland. Thatcham Research rates VW Group vehicles in their annual security assessments.
For VW owners with one working key who want a spare made proactively, adding a second key via VVDI2 takes 20–35 minutes at your location. This is significantly cheaper and faster than an all-keys-lost job — and far more sensible than waiting until the only key fails.
Volkswagen Golf MK7/8, Tiguan and T-Roc with Keyless Access are well-documented relay theft targets. Store keys in a Faraday bag away from external walls. Adding a non-keyless spare key via VVDI2 provides a theft-safer backup option.

How I Work on Volkswagen Vehicles
VVDI2 is purpose-built for VW Group platforms. It covers the same protocols across VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda and Porsche — meaning expertise on one brand transfers directly to all others in the group.

Volkswagen Key Replacement Pricing
What Affects the Price
VW key pricing depends on the model, platform generation and job type. Golf MK8 MQB Evo AKL is more involved than a spare key on a Polo MK5. Transporter jobs are priced the same as equivalent passenger car work. Call with your VW model and year.
Price Before I Travel
I give a price when you call — before I set off. What I quote is what you pay. No additional charges on arrival.
vs Volkswagen Dealer
VW main dealers charge £220–£420+ for key replacement and require workshop attendance. VVDI2 gives me the same level of access to VW IMMO systems at your location, at a significantly lower cost.
