How to Lock/Unlock the Volkswagen Golf with the Key

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

In this very short video, you will learn how to open and close your sixth-generation Volkswagen Golf with the key, in case the remote battery is flat; just follow these simple instructions below. Take a very thin plastic lever or something sharp and insert it into the designated hole at the bottom of the rectangular piece: then pry off the lock cover and access it. All that’s left is to insert the key into the lock to open and close the doors of your car; finally, reinsert the lock cover!

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
