dont know for sure but you will need a new and correct transponder for the key. you can get them from here:

AFAIK the 433/434 is only rounding anyway and the difference doesn't matter. I never bothered checking, so it could be just luck mine worked I suppose, but I was under the impression it didn't matter.

Would think a Golf of a similar year (2002) would be the same and on my old key, the part number is "HLO 1J0 959 753 AG" and frequency is 434MHz.

Cheers mate, so just a new key fob and replace the transponder with the correct model and all should be ok?

Hi matey, I got a flip key & blank blade from fleabay - got the blade cut at Tipmsons for 7 quid and then just replaced the transponder from my old key and reprogrammed it as per the cars manual. Worked fine and also works a whole lot better than the original 2 button key

if you have the old key then yes you can use the OLD transponder out of that, if not you will need to reprogram the ecu for the new transponder. either a good locksmiths can do this or your seat Dealer. make sure though you have the correct transponder.

so if i use one of the keys transponder units and put this into the new key i will be able to do the rest my self. thanks

On uk-mkivs the vagcom/ vagtacho users can reprogramme and fully code keys for about £50 to your ecu dependent on the clocks being immo2 or immo3

My old Golf was a 2002/ 51-plate TOMMY
