If you need to have a key made, the locksmith gives you a key that differs from the original Volkswagen key. Now you can order the correct key blank and have it cut by the locksmith.

For most years the correct original Volkswagen key is still available, although the design may have changed a little over the years.

Volkswagen gave each profile a specific letter or letter combination. Some profiles have different letters or combinations that are nevertheless identical to each other, which is very confusing, but there must have been a reason for it at the time. The profile designation was also stamped into the lock in a spot that is not directly visible. With this profile designation and the serial number (for example SG240 or SC153) you could order a key back then.

The different key profiles are not interchangeable. If you need an SC key for the left door and an SE key for the ignition, you will never be able to use both locks with one key. Operating all locks with one key was not always the case: in the 1950s the ignition lock could differ from the doors, and an extra key was often needed to lock the hood.

Always carefully compare the shape and the position of the grooves on both sides between the old key and the image on the website.
