For those who helped me with my question about the Passat transmission
history, THANK YOU. I did buy the car. It has NEVER had a timing belt
done with 125K miles. Needless to say, that will happen tomorrow ! But
may I ask another question? The three keys - 2 with remote locks and 1
valet - seem to be very expensive to replace. I did not get a tag with
the key code on it for replacement purposes, so I am a little concerned
about getting them made and the cost. Any sentiments from all you VW
lovers - especially Passat people? Thanks,
Marianne

Did check a while ago. It was some HK$2,000.- per Piece in HongKong or
About Pound 150.- + tax :P in your Country/

You can check with these guys about a replacement key:

If you give your VIN number to the Volkswagen dealer, he can give you the
info about your key. When I bought my Passat, the dealer said it was about
$250 to replace the key. Batteries last for over 3 years ( at least they
did on mine).
