The local dealer has quoted me $300 for a new key to my 2000 Golf. Argh!
Is there a cheaper way to get a key?

If you have the original bundle of keys then there will be a plastic tab with a 7 digit PIN number. Otherwise request it from the dealer. They may or may not give it to you, policy has been changing here but you may be ok.
Coding is done by non-vag people via Vag-Com (RossTech.com). You may know someone with access.

The 7 digit PIN was NEVER on any tabs... at least here in the USA! The PIN is no longer visible by any dealer since the programming when online directly with VW.
