The cost of a new key is £254.23. There will also be a coding fee on top of this which is £99.00. Does that sound about right? I need a whole key, only ever had 1.

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.

Aye, sounds about right (probably VAT on top). I was quoted a tenner shy of £400 from Porsche Portsmouth last month. £294 from a local indie.
POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Who was the indie and how long ago ?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
oh right... those guys... i'm not sure i want to use them since their "spyder" exhaust has rusted to hell within a year and they werent interested.

I bought a precut Porsche key fob from Car Keys Online and got it coded at my local indie. That worked out relatively cheap.. approximately £230 iirc
POST 7Original post
Just been quoted £313 to supply complete new coded key from Porsche Teesside.
POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
this is inclusive of VAT. so 350ish in total.
POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
That sounds more like it, Seems Cambridge OPC charges 99 for coding but for example Colchester only 55!
POST 10Original post
Might be worth speaking to the parts chap at Teesside then? I'm sure he'd post you one out (or do they need the vehicle to code it? :?: )
POST 11Original post
...only Porsche could engineer a fob with a limited number of uses and then charge £300 plus for a replacement!!!

I have a brand new 996 key head, if anyone is interested let me know, its been supplied from an OPC, comes with the barcode that is required for programming and will be less than the prices mentioned above.
POST 13Original post
Post how many buttons it has .. different models have different amounts of buttons Fobs are the cost that Porsche charges .. the labour rate and an Indy will be about £50 less .
POST 14Original post
996 two button, and a 986 three button. Any decent indy can program these keys, you need to provide V5 to confirm ownership of the car and photo ID, they request the codes from Porsche. Programming takes circa 10 minutes.
