Is the ignition switch for the Aussie t4 the same as the euro version? This is the switch behind the barrel mechanism.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

It should be, it's a commonly used switch throughout the vw range. Fairly cheap from the aftermarket suppliers here. Just try to get a branded one, as the cheaper versions are known to fail regularly.
Modify a small Phillips head screwdriver to create a 90 deg bend. This will allow you access to the screw that holds it in the barrel without removal of the barrel etc. All in it's about 20 mins work.
What symptoms do you have? -
Sorry forgot abt this. T4 was occasionally had to start, had to turn key hard to start - occasionally would just get warning 'boings' and no engine turning over.Comment

Thanks Bug_racer for the link. I checked the VW price & it was $82.25. I have read on the T4 Forum that some of the after market switches
don't last very long. After I ordered one I was wondering if it was made in china. Part arrived today & it's in genuine part packaging, made in Spain. As mine in the van is original & the switch has a limited life, it is cheap enough to have on hand to have as a spare.
Price as shown in link is $16.45 + $7.45 postage.
With the age of the T4, one never knows when the switch will be NLA & we will be forced to fit non genuine, hopefully a long way off.Last edited by jets; 29-02-2016, 03:55 PM.Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

It was just old stock . I have so many old parts that havent been catalogued yet . Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the year !Bug_racer supports the rebellion of the euro revolutionComment

Check VW vintage parts via the VW international website. VW now considers T4 a classic car being over 20 years old so many parts are being factory reproduced. I bought new drivers side door card and grab handle late last year via VW Heritage in the UK (about $250 delivered) after determining it was available via VW...hate to think what local vw part price must beOriginally posted by jets View PostComment
