Default Valet Keys

Just bought a 01 A8L and took it to McKenna in Norwalk, Ca. I was told that this model does not have a valet key. I cannot believe a car like this would not come with a valet key
Does anyone know if my service consultant is correct or do I need to go to a higher authority. Thanks

I think Audi stopped doing valet keys in 2000.

Thanks for reply-owners manual states comes with 2 reg keys 1 valet key and 1 plastic key but I'm being told no valet key is available-wanted to find out if any 2001 owners have a valet key-

Default I bought one on Ebay for $10

But I have a 98 and I don't have an immobilizer.

Call a key shop, they should be able to make one for you.

Default Look inside your owners manual. There is a picture of all the keys that came originally with the

car. I think there was a valet key. When I bought my 2001 A8L CPO, the dealer made extra keys to make up for missing keys.

Default That is a spare key, not a valet key.

The valet key has a workshop symbol on it and the blade is thicker. It fits the driver's door and the ignition only.
