Aha. I wondered where you'd snuck off to. Been hiding in the Alhambra section on here. When'd the Bora go?
Anyway, do you have the plastic tag which was supplied with the car when new? It'll have the pin you need to code new keys to the immobiliser. Without that you need someone with Vag Tacho or Vag Commander to read the system for the pin. After that it's a simple enough procedure with a new transponder, to code it to the immobiliser. Which one you need will depend on the age of your car and the immobiliser system. The remote locking procedure is easily done with no tools, just a matter of a series of presses with the new key and the old one in the ignition or something. There's a guide online if necessary. Key blade buying and cutting can be done online (here) with a good digital picture of your existing key. He also supplies virgin transponders in the flip part if necessary, although you need to know which type you need.
First up, the pin. Then a remote with the correct frequency, and a key blade/transponder. Then VCDS (Vag Com) to code it to the car.
All in all, pretty similar to the Bora if you ever had that done.

Its my work bus, The bora went in june, put 40,000 on it in 2yrs and lost £50 on it...tidy 
Got the Alhambra for the same price so cost me nowt and 80,000 less miles lol!!!
So looking at that website if i picked No 1 VW 2 BUTTON FLIP KEY WITH BLADE it will already have the chip inside? Also asks if if you require key cut and code. i guess i'll have to find the code cuz i aint got a tag!
Cheaper than i thought anyway, cheers for the link mate.

There's a drop down box with some of the key blade options, and it'll volunteer a choice of transponders. You select the correct one for your car. Also, if you select "key cut and code number", you need to send him a good quality digital pic of your existing key. He then cuts your key from that and provides you with the key code for future use. Note, this is not the pin code you need for coding to the immobiliser, just the cut of the key blade.
Send him an email, he's really helpful.
First up I'd pick up a remote and make sure you can code it to the car. Then get a key/transponder head to fit the remote.

Mate you can pick up a remote fob on Ebay for about £15, then £16 for the blade, flip, and transponder. That's what I meant. I wouldn't go to him for a remote as they're cheap as chips second hand.
Yeah but what i don't get is on his site he has the 2 button fob with blade for £11? unless its from £11
Im not in a hurry.

What he has for £11 is a remote case. No innards. So if your remote is looking a little shabby then you can buy a new case and put your internals from the old remote inside. Cosmetic see.
Back to the start. Dismantle your current key and see what the part number inside is, then pick up a matching remote of Ebay. Details here of key disassembly. Link
Then if you can successfully code it to your car to lock/unlock (see here) you can buy the blade to fit, get it cut, and get a transponder. Then someone with Vag Tacho and VCDS to code the transponder to your car.

Bugger, just realised you need a working keyblade on the new remote to do the coding procedure. So revise the procedure a little. Buy a remote fob, get a key blade cut, transponder, etc. then code the remote to lock/unlock. Then you'll have a means of entry to the car at least if you lose the other key in the meantime. Then find someone to code it to the immobiliser to start the engine.
