[Jimmy07]

Hello All

Is there only one pick for later VW the HU162T92 ?

If so are they handy picked ?

Thanks in advance 👍🏻

2017 mk7 golf in NI most likely Hu66

You can spot HU66 or HU162T but I'm not sure if HU162T with side cuts.

Golf I went to tonight was defo not HU66 the HU66 was about 4-5mm too wide for key slot.

Last week went to a 2014 Polo that had a new key done at VW dealership recently. Guy was locked out and asked if I could open car.

Same deal HU66 was not the blade. The blade is nowhere near as wide as HU66 and cut track looks 1mm not 2mm also blade had side cuts like HU83 blank ?

Didn’t expect this on a 14 Polo in a million years 🤯🤔

i suspect the polo was a late 14 , on polo and some seat and skoda the hu162 8 cut with no side cuts was the most likely to see , then the 9 cut with 3 side cuts appeared .

on golf even on 2017 you will see alot of HU66 still , opened a late 2017 golf on HU66 , but ive also had golf on a late 2014 with the 9 cut hu162 with 3 side cuts , the first of the golf family to introduce the 9 cut hu162 with the 3 side cuts was the golf plus model the golf plus used the 9 cut hu162 from late 2014 , but even though this was the case ive still been to later golf plus models still on Hu66.

so the simple answer is you cant be 100% sure what you will get from late 2014 , on golf with the exception of golf plus you are far more likely to see the HU66 until 2017 on models , if a late 2014 golf plus your more likely to see hu162 9 cut . with polo and some seat and skoda you are likely to see the hu162 8 cut tool on 2014 models but from end of 2014 alot used the 9 cut .

then of course theres the passat and the audi slot keys that from 2015 used the hu162 10 cut just to confuse things further .

the wise auto locksmith has the full tool set , HU49 , HU66 , HU162 8 cut , HU162 9 cut and HU162 10 cut , add to this the HU64 for crafter then they then have every eventuality covered , after all they are the tools of the trade that are needed to simplify our job. though this said i picked my first 10 cut HU162 with a tension wrench and a hand pick prior to the lishi tool being released , and my first 8 cut was with tension wrench and hand picks , when no lishi going old school gets the job done , so dont ignore old fashioned hand picking , it can save the day and be the difference between getting paid and not getting paid ..

you can id what lock you have by the plug , all have fractional differences , but the answer is as i say have a full set of lishi and look after them , learn to use them to become competent with them.

the locks with side cuts pick a little different to other locks and have their own challenges , practice and understanding of the lock resolve these and make picking these straight forward , i used to get excited to get called to one .

there is no 100% accurate resource available to tell you which model started using what lock when , as vag seem to have introduced these randomly from factory to factory , so the auto locksmith relies on spotting the id differences plug to plug and turns up with each tool that they have practiced to become competent with , so at end of day its not important whats on it .

if you find it all a bit daunting now jimmy , you would have hated the life we had pre lishi and the skills and work we had to master , and i suspect due to the internet videos , open forums and price cutters making manufacturer locks and vehicle security look bad , there will be alot of new challenges to face on new cars , maybe old school skills will again be needed

Thanks for info Rapid 👍🏻

So will the HU162T92 pick cover 8,9 & 10 cut locks with and without side tracks ?

Is the cutter 1mm on these as track is a lot narrower than HU66 track ?

I take my hat off to the old school men who done locks with hand picks and strobes etc. A lot of guys I know still struggle with certain locks with Lishi. Hand picking and decoding is an art form all of it’s own 🤯

[rapidlocksmiths]

err No !!!

the HU162 8 , 9 and 10 cut are in essence different locks , so its 3 seperate tools . none of the tools fit in each others locks , so you need all 3 .

8 cut tool has no side cuts and wont fit in either of the locks with side cuts
9 cut lock wont fully insert in the 8 cut lock and wont insert in 10 cut lock
10 cut lock is a reverse profile on side cuts and wont fit in 8 or 9 cut lock.

so no cheap way , other than harry potters wand or old school hand picking then all 3 tools are required

[Jimmy07]

Got you Rapid

Have HU66 single and double lifter and have it cracked.

Would you have the Mr.Li or Lishi codes for these 3 picks please

Will order the other picks and get my ass to the auction.

Is the cutting track on latest VW 1mm ?

If this is the case need to get a 1mm cutter.

Thanks for clarification on picks 👍🏻

How many different key blades must use for them 2 or 3

[rapidlocksmiths]

jimmy i cut these on ninja laser , ninja laser uses a 1.5mm cutter

manta1600 the 8 and 9 cut use same profile blade the 10 cut uses a reverse profiled blade , so at least 2 types , however , the stock i have i use just 1 blade which has no side cut profiles on it , so the machine cuts the required profile along with the side cuts

i suspect that will have plenty of fails on HU66 , it wont even fit in the 8 , 9 and 10 cut hu162 , its a toy that will let you down , stick to lishi

[Jimmy07]

Thanks Rapid and Manta 👍🏻

Bit of a comfort to see I’m not alone with this. I decoded the 14 polo without adaptor on A9. Don’t know how accurate this would have been as didn’t have a cutter to suit. Will order a 1 and 1.5 mm cutter for A9 and check to see if clamp is needed.

Super jumbe thanks for post but don’t fancy this new pick-decoder. It looks a bit fragile for the force applied to open locks. Might just be poor videos online but......

Even as a learner with Lishi I find HU66 very easy to pick and decode with Mr.Li or Lishi. Have these down to minutes now and decode is easy and accurate

[rapidlocksmiths]

original lishi references are HU162 8 cut , HU162 9 cut ,, HU162 10 cut

genuine lishi reference are vag 2015 8 cut ,, vag 2015 9 cut , vag 2015 10 cut

with the 10 cut tool , buy the version with the seperate tension handle and not the fixed tension handle , as the fixed handle was the 1st generation , it wont do the later audi A4 as they heavily recessed the lock in the handle which beat the gen 1 tool on the A4 , the tool was then adapted with a seperate tension arm to position further up the tool and allowed the picking of the newer A4 models with lock recessed in the handle .
