Posts: 788 Thanks: 48 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Broken key! Cheaper option may be to take bits to one of the after market guys or locksmith with the right equipment. Keys about £20 each + code from fiat £20 + £40 key coding and reset. You must be looking at £100. Not too bad considering you have lost all of the cars security. Tony.

Remember its a code 2 system also there are alot of crap keys being sold by locksmiths/shoe & key cutting shops,they simply buy cheap keys which can give problems. As for costing a 'arm & a leg' a 2002 punto would of cost you a few quid in the first place so £60-100 is nothing really. |

Remember its a code 2 system Fiats want £150 +vat! What is the code card? At the mo I have got a key cut at a locksmiths and have taped the broken key to it, but this is a temp measure. Can I get the code for my key(car) from Fiat? Whats a code two system? I no what your all thinking but I am not familiar with fiats as this is my first one... cheers!

Posts: 46 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Broken key! What about if its just a basic blue key thats been lost? This is what has happened to me (fiat punto M reg 55sx 5 door) and im absolutely gutted - only had the car for 1 hour ![]() If I go to a fiat dealership will they sort me out for £38? All advice gratefully appreciated - cheers Also can I just buy a key set and locks from a scrapyard instead? How would I prove what key I need? Is it the engravings on the key barrel?
