When I put the key in and turn it, it basically does nothing. I don't have a remote, just a valet key. Also, if I sit in the car and lock it by pushing the lock button on the door panel, it locks fine. Does anyone know how to fix this? I didn't want to have to buy the whole door lock...

Good news is I found my valet key this weekend, so I have a back-up. The valet key won't go into the trunk cylinder at all. But, to my untrained eye every curve in the cut looks identical to the standard key, as does the profile of the front of the key. Anyone know exactly how the valet...

20 year old kid working as a valet = brain dead.:P http://www.canoe.com/infos/societe/archives/2011/02/20110204-085316.html MONTRÉAL – Des patrouilleurs de la Sûreté du Québec ont intercepté un chauffard, vendredi matin, alors qu’il roulait à 240 km/h, à Montréal. Le conducteur était un...

In the Passat Manual is says the Valet Key is to open driver's door and ignition only. It does not open the glove compartment and rear lid. Ok I got the glove compartment part. So question, if someone has the valet key can they still use it to open the door and open the rear lid/trunk from the...

I had to replace my ECU and so had my keys adapted at the dealership. But, I forgot to bring in my valet key (DOH!). I know the procedure for adding a new remote key (because I actuallt read that part of the manual), but now that I consider this, I think that the Valet key has a transponder in...

I'm about to purchase a used 2000 Passat V6 and the only key that the seller has is a valet key. (They lost the other 2 keys). What do you think the most cost effective replacement/copy of the key? Can I copy this valet key at a locksmith or does it have a special transponder? How cheap can...

Got her out and all's well... Not exactly even sure what happened since I wasn't there at the time, but it brings up a meaningful question.... Is there a way to get a copy of a valet key that I can "hide" somewhere on the outside of the car that would allow my wife to unlock the door to get...

hey - When i bought my girl (2004 1.8T) a few months ago, she only had one switchblade remote. I should/would have argued for the stealership to include the others, but I wasnt at the final negotiations due to my end of leave. :banghead: My parents, who took delivery of the car originally...

It didn't bother me so much at first, but now that I've had the car for a few months I would really like to get a "real" key with remote. I know this has been discussed before in length on here, but I haven't seen anything where anyone has gotten no remote at all. Through the research I could...

I've seen plenty of threads on programming a new remote fob keyless, but what about programming a valet key? I wanted to pick one up for a stash key\hide away key on the car. Any info appreciated...

except for this key problem the car, 2000 1.8t silver Passat sedan, is near mint and I paid less then I paid for my mkIII to get a VR :D . I bought it off my sister and she bought it 4 years ago without a key fob. I picked it up and <24 hours into it the key turned in the drivers lock...

Just like the title states. I swearched the ETKA and 1stvw for part number or the actual parts themselves but came up short. I need the part number for a valet key and for the spring/clip that holds the parking light/blinker housing assembly to the vehicle for a B5. any info would be great. thanks

Is it possible to take the immobilizer out of the valet key? Just wondering b/c I have a new key fob but the dealership is adamant that they cannot program the key. Wondering if I could just put the already programmed immobilizer from valet key into new key fob. Has anyone done this? How do you...

My valet key is beginning to rust. Is there a possibility that it will short out the lock system or something? Or do I just have to pay attention to the extent of the rust, and get a new one before it starts to break up?:nervous: I take it in the ocean when I'm surfing.

hi, quick question. just bought an 03 passat gls and i'm wondering if it originally came with two "switchblade" keys AND a valet key? I only got the two switchblade keys. thanks!

So exactly how does my car know the difference between a master key and a valet key? :confused: I understand that the valet key won't unlock the rear seat backs or open the trunk, but I tried to program a new remote today to my '99 using the new switchblade key that I had cut (from a master)...

It has now happened to me too! :banghead: I took my wife to Cleveland this weekend (anniversary trip) to see a Tribe game and stay at a nice hotel downtown. Well, I'm not fond of valet parking (I've witnessed too much crappy driving by valets at OSU's med center), but I was initially told I had...
