I'm not sure if you can replace the buttons (can't remember how they key splits) but you would not be able to code a new key to the car yourself. I'm sure VCDS can't do it either.

There is a guy called Craig Nettleton who is highly recommended and had attended forum meets too. He has all the kit and travels the country when he has enough jobs in the area.

Where are you located ??
I have used this guy twice now.
He comes to you and cuts and codes new keys.
Very reasonable price when compared to the stealers.
Circa 50% of their price.
The more keys/remotes you have the cheaper it gets.
He is based in Surrey.

Hope this helps
