Lost Keys
If you've lost keys to your car first thing to do is to look in the place where you normally keep the keys. Some keys "drift" from their normal spot and end up on a floor or beneath something. It is important to not abandon the search too soon, especially if the area has been searched more than once. If you have done this and are still unable find your keys, contact the local locksmith for help. Locksmiths are typically cheaper than visiting the dealership to purchase replacement car keys. The locksmith will require details about your vehicle, such as its VIN or key code. This information will enable the locksmith to identify your vehicle and give you the correct key to open it.
Broken Keys
When a key breaks off inside your lock with that stomach-curling snap, thoughts of anxiety and despair pour down on you. Take the time to breathe before you give up. It's not impossible. If you're lucky you might be able to retrieve the broken piece using pliers with needle noses. If not, tweezers can work just as well (just be careful not to push the broken edge farther into the lock).
A great tip is to use a bottle of WD-40(r) Smart Straw with the smart nozzle, and spray directly into the keyhole to lubricate it. This will help the broken piece slide off and also loosen up any binds that might be holding it in place. You can try sliding it up and back or in and out to let it free from the thing that is holding it.
There are a variety of other ways that people have tried like using a paperclip to hold the broken piece from both sides, and then leverage it out. You can also try a drill bit, but make sure you drill the hole on the exposed side of the broken portion of the key, not the lock it self.
Keys damaged Keys
Sometimes what appears to be a major hardware issue is actually just a bit of dust and grit on the key, which prevents it from working correctly. You can usually solve this yourself, without the need for replacement parts. You will need a plastic prying tool (a credit card is the best, but a flathead screwsdriver is also a viable option in an emergency), and a container that you can use to hold the pieces you need to take them off.
You'll also need a spudger for removing the stubborn dirt and grime, and a Q tip to clean the keypad. If you are able to remove the key and internal parts make sure you note their locations so that you can rebuild them properly later on.
If the key has completely broken off in the ignition or fob, you'll need to have an expert locksmith repair it for you. This is due to the fact that Seat utilizes a specific four-digit security code to program keys to the car and they do not disclose this information to anyone else, even the owners. We can locate the code using a specialist tool and software and supply you with a new replacement key at a much less cost than the dealership.
