My car has too many different keys! VW Mk2 Golf - re-wafering locks

When I bought this car, it came with 3 different keys. No duplicates. It’s time to fix it - along with my friend Duncan from FobFix. We take apart the existing locks, decode the key, match wafers to the ignition key and compare the quality of reproduction parts with OEM.

Featuring a Condor key decoding machine, we also use a calliper (or callipers) to measure the wafers and the key, to show you how to do this yourself at home.
