If you attempt to start a MK6 with an unprogrammed key it will display "safe" and then the engine will stall. I don't believe you need the clocks swapping out, you need new transponders in the keys and re-programming. #4 · Mar 10, 2018

#7 · Mar 10, 2018 Thank you for your reply. I intend to drive to Blackpool on Monday to try to convince the Garage of your case. Does the transponder sit in the bottom half of the key and can it be bought and replaced ?? #8 · Mar 11, 2018 It would be easier for you to replace the keys, as opening mk6 OEM keys is a bit of a hack job. You can order keys from VW specifically for your car as they'll have details of your lock barrels. Your issue is programming for the immobiliser, if neither of your keys are recognised by the car at the moment ( both causing the dash to display SAFE) then the dash needs to be removed and stripped for programming on the bench (unless VW have any other methods to do it). Is your car with an official VW dealer? #9 · Apr 11, 2018 What happened? Did you get it going again? Shame if you came her for help, got help, then disappeared... Insert Quotes Post Reply
