I'm looking to get a new key cut so I need to buy a blank. I found 2 types… a HV profile and N profile. Both pictures look like they have the same grooves and I think they've used one picture and listed differently.. I've read a post that said the profile changed sometime in 1986 and typically my car is '86.
Here is the pic I took yesterday. Any advice would be appreciated.

but: Love those buts.
The former owner could of replaced the older type of ignition switch for a newer style that uses the AH blank.
If the Ignition key also works the trunk lock or the Glove box, then you can be sure that it is probably a HV blank.

I'm pretty sure it unlocks the boot from what I remember before I stripped it off, haven't checked it on the glovebox yet but will check that out next week before I order one.
Thanks again

Glove box lock is very very easy to change so don't just check that, door locks should be the same as ignition, saying that door locks are only 2 screws to remove or early cars are only 1 screw
Thanks for the help.
Just asked boyfriend and he said it definitely opens the boot and doors. Also just realised it has to open everything because I only got 2 keys with the car and the smaller one opens the petrol flap 😊 I'll order the HV and hope it's right 👍

N profile is not correct for a Golf, its for Transporter and others
