Do all 6n2's come fitted with remote locking?

I was supplied with two keys with my polo, both of which are an abomination and neither open the car remotely.

It does outline in the handbook remote central locking but it looks like an optional extra, am I correct? What is the best method of replacing my keys? can the blades be switched?

I did see thanks Kish, after going a bit crazy on service parts I may have to pass on this one

Re: Any specific 6n2 1.4TDi Timing belt DIY's?

Cheers mate, did you say you had carried out the task? did you use an engine hoist? I found several articles suggesting jacking the engine just enough to remove one of the engine mounts?

Any specific 6n2 1.4TDi Timing belt DIY's?

Hi All,

Has anyone carried out a cambelt change on a 1.4Tdi before? I've trawled the web in an attempt to find a decent DIY with very little luck so any guidance (Do's & Don'ts) would be greatly appreciated!

Yep £30 on a 1.4tdi. That's 10% of the cost to tax my toy! bargain!

They are Aluline Turbines, I have to agree they don't look bad at all and would a lot better with a refurb. They look to sell for reasonably decent money so I may end up switching for some RXII's
