when you have it cut, you also need to go to VW to MAYBE have the immoboliser reprogrammed... I think they reprogramme it for like £20-£30? and I got the exact same one as the original from VAG PARTS off ebay.. think they are a Honk Kong seller if i remember correctly?...

I bought this a while back now

And thats for my polo 9n, I was unsure about buying this becuase if i bought this, and had it cut, but the immoboliser reprogramming didn'; work... i was going to waste my money.. but fortunatlly.. the chip inside the key was fine :)
