Hey guys. So I have broken my key for my 2012 Multivan. The blade part has come off the main black section. I tried starting it with just the blade and using a pair of pliers, but it comes up with 'key not found' and stops running straight away. So obviously it needs the black part to start it. But I can jam the blade part into the top of the black part and have it make contact with the metal and it will start like normal. But then the black part wants to fall off/wont stay on there. So I put a dab of super glue on it to hold it in place to get me home. But when I got home I pulled the black part off with it running and nothing happened; as in it kept running and no warning signs on the dash...with just the blade in the ignition. Does anyone know if.... I start the van with the black part jammed onto the blade (like you'd start with an unbroken key), then remove the black part once running...will it keep going indefinitely or will it do some security thing and self destruct after 10km or something? haha
This is obviously just a temporary fix and I will be getting a new key as soon as I can but they are closed until Tuesday and not even sure if I can get in to get it done that day, so I really need to be able to drive the van until then.
Also, while I have you, any idea how much a new genuine proper key from VW will sting me? I'm expecting a lot.
Cheers guys.
