I bought from this firm because of reputation, but their price was also the best. Keys came quickly and were the right blanks for my 91 vanagon. Done and dusted, I’ll buy from here again with confidence!

If you have purchased new lock cores from Go Westy, these blanks will not work. Locksmith said they might still work on the original VW lock / ignition. Just know if you change the cores with Go Westy, these keys will not work.

Hi Jeffrey, you are correct. This key blank is for the original VW lock cores, not the aftermarket cores. We have clarified this on the product page, and are bringing in new key blanks for aftermarket lock cores. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Best, GoWesty

Replacement key blank

Not everyone will cut a key for you nowadays. But the hardware store in my neighborhood still does which I'm really glad for because I only have one original key for my Westy.

Happy to get them for such an old vehicle. Going to try and get them cut, or do it myself.

ignore bad reviews

these blanks are great. if you have issues, it’s because you had an idiot cut your blanks. i went to ace and they did it for free. in the world of $100+ key fobs at dealerships, you should count your blessings! no, they didn’t cut it perfect. yes, i have to jiggle it a little. but it works! the cut is your responsibility ! i got two.

Careful when new and using as ignition to start

I had two of these blanks cut from the original key. I tested and it opened the doors then I figured I will use it to drive the van. It was tight turning the ignition switch, expecting that this is normal since this is new. It started but then I hear loud unfamiliar noise coming from the engine. Did not think of it as anything serious and drove out. This is a big mistake. At the traffic light on the middle lane, the noise continued then the van stalled out causing traffic. I could not restart the van, no start, no crank. Waited for towing to my mechanic. It was diagnosed with failed starter. From what it looks like, it was due to this new key. Due not turning freely, it seem to still sending electricity to the starter even though the engine has already started.

Hi Ron, thank you for your review. Clearly the key blank itself was not at fault here, but you raise a good point. Anytime you get a new ignition key cut, you must make absolutely sure that when used in the ignition, the switch moves freely and springs back to the 'on' position. If it remans in the 'start' position, it will continue to engage the starter. Not good!

Ok it works

It works, but if you’re going to rekey something, I would prefer the cool looking key

Hi Ryan, the 'cool looking' genuine VW key is in stock for $27. The cheap aftermarket one you bought for under $3 is definitely not as cool, but it does the job.

You should have seen the look on the key-cutter's face when I handed him this blank and my igniti...

He was hesitant but cut it properly and it passed testing (started the car), now I don't have to worry about only having a single ignition key.

I had hoped for more.

I had one cut and it wouldn't go in the ignition at all, and barely went in the door lock
