You're pretty stuffed tbf.

Youll have to contact your local VW dealer, where they can order you a new key cut correctly to your car using their records then get it coded by them. Expect to pay £100 ish for a new key (its cheaper to get two keys whilst you are at it as they arent expensive. its the coding that it)

If theres no transponder youd have to order a new transponder from an external supplier such as hickleys

My advice is to call your local dealership and see what they can do for you
