Extra key for corsa 2002 reg

Feb 08, 2010 3 Replies

My son would like a spare key for 02 reg corsa which he bought with only 1 key. Dealers seem to charge about £160 for a key which seems a bit steep.



I have found blank keys with transponder chips for around £10 on ebay, but these would need cutting and I guess the car would need some sort of reprogramming to use the new transponder as well, which I believe auto locksmiths can do. But I haven't found anywhere that supplies the section containing the remote switches/battery holder/circuit board that slides into the key body ? Can these be purchased anywhere, and will this require reprogramming as well, or just the usual resync procedure you use when the battery is replaced ?



Thanks Tony


Not all keys can be coded up by autolocksmiths , many citroens , pugs and fiats are dealer only as they have to access the ecu software

Last time I asked them to do a Ford key, they were (slightly) dearer then the main dealer.

I found an independent locksmith who did one for half the price, although no programming was involved.
