Covering the full Mk5 / Mk6 / Mk7 / Mk8 — including GTI, R, Estate range. These are the variants we work on most often:
Mk7 Golf GTI — lost both keys at a music festival. DashTech came on Sunday afternoon, sorted it in 2 hours on the festival car park.
Mk8 Golf — spare key for my partner. Quick on the driveway in Croydon. Same OEM fob as VW would supply.
Mk6 Golf R — needed all-keys-lost on a salvage rebuild. DashTech came, did the keys + module work in one visit. Couldn't have asked for more.
