Last October I bought a '89 VW Golf Cabriolet. It needed seats recovered and a parking dent in the hood attended to. I gave my wife the main key and used the spare and only noticed the other day the spare would not go into either the door lock nor the trunk. Upon close inspection I saw whoever cut the spare used the wrong blank. It had an extra rib. 15 minutes of careful file work eliminated the rib and now it works. I suspect it worked in the ignition because of wear in the tumblers.
Got to laugh.
