In today's video, learn how to fix the key of the Volkswagen Golf (or similar models from the VW group, including Audi, Seat, and Skoda). Specifically, we'll address what to do if the metal part has broken off from the key structure.

First, dismantle the key by separating it into two parts. Next, remove the circuit board (which will be needed for the new remote) and the battery, which can be reused.

Take the new remote, open it following the same steps, and reassemble the components from the previous remote. No new configurations will be necessary.
