Master Key

[rbutcher]

hi i've just brought a 1993 Surf 2.4, i didn't know about the keys at the time but it turns out i only have the sub key which wont lock the glove box, i know not that much of a problem but it would be usefull, is it possible to get a replacement master key being a import.

Not sure what the difference is do i just need the master key blank and get it cut using the sub key or is it cut different.

thanks rob

Not sure of the correct answer here. None of my keys are original and yet I have not had a problem locking the glove box, although I must add in over five years I've only locked it twice.

What made you think you needed a fancy key to lock the glove box? There is no Master/Sub key for a 2nd gen (afik). You've just got either a dodgy lock or a different lock on your glove box. I've never, ever, locked a glove box...

It's not a special key, it's just different. It's the wee scabby one that most owners probably threw away not knowing what it was for.
