Keys

[Motina]

Was burgled today they took safe which had spare keys in anyone have a quick fix to secure the van overnight in case they come back.

Really sorry to hear that.

Take the battery out would be my first thought.

Lock round the steering wheel.

 

[Chippie1]

Sleep in it and wait for the ba**ards to come back for it

Lock round the steering wheel.

Wise words. Obviously depending on circumstances, if you can block it in with another car, even better.

 

[Paynewright]

Pull some key fuses??

 

[Anakin]

Jack up and remove a wheel.

 

[Sasquatch]

Cut the brake hoses, remove the airbag fuses, and hope they come back...

Or remove the battery and steering wheel.

 

[Motina]

Thanks all the advise but if I remove the battery won't I have to re program so bits?

 

[Sasquatch]

No, although you may have to go through the menus to get the set up back to your preferences. A lot better than losing the van.

Once you feel had a new key programmed the old one should drop off, so it may physically open the lock it won't disarm the alarm or start the van.

 

[Motina]

Thanks will remove battery.

 

[Motina]

Can't lock the van with the battery removed.

 

[Sasquatch]

Not much point locking it anyway if the goons have a key.

 

[PhillH]

Sorry to hear this mate, there are some horrible people in this world. Hope you and your family are ok.

Do you have a key hole in drivers door to manually open the van? If so open the bonnet, shut the door and lock the van. Remove the battery and shut the bonnet.

You can access the van with a key but they would need a battery, maybe full a few sensor connections around the engine to.

If it is a 6.1, you can call VW and they can cancel the key over the air. So I was told (by VW).

 

[Motina]

Mines a 6 but I will give them a call thanks.
