Volkswagen car key is lost solution is: 1. Use the spare key to unlock; 2. Re-match the key and replace the entire car lock. Taking the 2020 Volkswagen as an example, it belongs to a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, trunk capacity 533l, and curb weight 1445kg. The 2020 Volkswagen is equipped with a 1.4t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150ps, maximum power of 110kw, maximum torque of 250nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I'm an experienced auto repair veteran, and lost keys are a common issue. Volkswagen keys come with chips, so if you lose one, you need to visit an authorized 4S dealership immediately. Bring your vehicle registration and ID to prove ownership. The dealership will check your car's VIN code to cut a new key for you, and it will take time to program and sync it with the anti-theft system—this process might take a day or two and can be quite costly, easily running into hundreds or even over a thousand yuan. I recommend checking whether the lost key could be misused by thieves, so have the technician reset the system. For daily use, secure your key with a sturdy keychain instead of keeping it loose in your pocket, where it can easily slip out. Always keep a spare key hidden at home or with someone you trust—it’ll save you a lot of hassle if you lose one.
