I'm at the beach. I get into my Golf Mk5 and try to insert the key into the ignition. It won't go in. I call RACQ. He tells me to get a locksmith. The locksmith gets the key into the ignition but then the gears can't be selected. Call RACQ again. He resets the computer. Doesn't work. I'm stuck. I get a tow truck. It gets dark. I get towed to VW workshop. Next evening the tech rings me and tells me it was all caused by a blown 10Amp fuse!. AAAAH......Anyway hope this helps someone.

Sounds like he has a DSG. Maybe the Steering and Gear lock out is electronic plunger rather than mechanical. No power and your stuck.Originally posted by stickshift3000 View Post\( O ) o\====(\X/)=TDI=/o ( O )/ 2011 Jetta Mk5 125TDI - Squidly
