How to open the broken key of a Volkswagen Golf.

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Key

Let's see in this video how to fix an apparently serious problem. The key of our Volkswagen Golf VI has broken, and we can't open the remote to replace the shell. Unfortunately, the part that broke is the support for the blade, which cannot be purchased separately, as it is part of the casing. Therefore, we will need to replace the entire shell and reassemble the new support by replacing the blank blade with the one from our key (or having it replicated by a specialized craftsman). We will also change the electronic part and the battery, and the solution will be found.
