Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My ignition keys looking grubby have found replacements on flebay will only change the plastic covers, anybody done this Thanks in advance

POST 2Original post

The world of Porkie keyfob refreshes is a lot murkier than on my Golf. I found new badges, got 3-4 of them banging around now. Just couldn't find a completely new case, for some weird reason D911 holds in stock only one half of the case?! :evil: So whereas I always have brand new keys on the Golf, I never got anywhere with the Porkie keys.

POST 3Original post

I got a new head including cover / buttons recoded for £34 of ebay a month ago. Bloke has tens of thousands of positive reviews. DM me and I'll send you his details.

POST 4Original post

I've bought one, looks good enough quality to me! Cheap anyway and worth a punt.

POST 5Original post

I have and its fine. Only used the front bit with the buttons on though.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes I only plan to use the button side Does the cover slide or prise off

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 9Original post

I've changed both using the ones off Fleabay. Simples. Might need to file the T head of the key slightly so that the locking pin clips in. Don't damage the glass pea as that is the transponder!
