Another approach to getting keys

[L DC]

Two weeks ago I decided to try the key of my '85 VW
QSW on my '87 QSW and I was surprised when it actually
opened the driver's lock, and all the locks for that
matter. It did, however, take a little jiggling for
about 3 seconds to do the trick.

I did not try to start the engine but will check it
out and see if that key fires it up.
