my flip key has been broken since I bought the car seems like the spring has gone & the push button is broke,

Found this on eBay..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190666481248?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I understand I will have to put my transponder chip in but just wondering if a normal key cutting place can cut this sort of key?

Hi i did try to get a 2nd key cut but the ones i tried could not do it,
but i would just swap over the latch bits.
Have you been to Volvo parts as the key is sold in 3 bits ,1 blade, 2 blade holder with chip ,3 remote bit with the buttons worth a look in.

i dont think the volvo keys can be cut....... i took mine into my local Timpsons key cutters, after putting it into his machine the key came up as 'code locked' so there was nothing they could do with it.


dealer only jobby....:mad:

A half decent automotive locksmith should be able to cut the blade part of the key timpsons are a bunch of amateurs
