Remote Central Locking on 2008 1.2 Polo Match

[sullybros]

Hi and hope someone can help.

Over the bank holiday weekend I put a deposit down on a 5 door 2008 Polo Match 60 1.2. The garage (2nd hand dealer) agreed to get a couple of problems sorted before I had it, ie cup holder wasn't working and the remote locking key didn't work.

Rang today to see if it was sorted to be told that the car doesn't have remote locking after all, and the key with a button was just for a light.

Is this right that a car this age doesn't have remote locking?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks for replying. How odd - especially from VW.

Reading other threads it looks like I might be able to get it fitted.

Yeah, you can retrofit a remote locking kit. Check this thread : http://tinyurl.com/konueor

The 9N Polo is a basic car so don't expect premium options

Thanks for the links Chris but I'm a bit of a wimp and more likely to pay to get one fitted. Wanted to be sure the dealer wasn't trying to pull a fast one! :P

Is 9N the same as Match?

9N is the VW model code for your model of Polo. It's in the vehicle's chassis No. WVWZZZ9NZ......
Match is the trim level.

Thanks again.

I had a couple of golfs years ago but never a polo and tbh wasn't even thinking of one, but this seemed like a decent car with low mileage and a good deal. Have always been happy with the golfs we've had, as well as audis but seems I should have done my homework on polos before paying my deposit.

As posted above these cars don't all come with remote keys. We do fitting of the after market kit if you're on the London area contact us on abacuskeys.co.uk

Thanks but I'm nowhere near.
