Hi Guys - '09 T5 Manual 2.5

I have an intermittent problem (getting more frequent) where the ignition key won't turn to the 'on' position, it happens regardless of the steering lock being engaged or not. So far, when it happens I've able to jiggle the steering wheel or roll the van forward...

Hi all


Jumped in the car today just to discover the key is not really turning all the way to start the engine. With WD 40 somehow was able to turn it all the way once – started the engine and I got the car home. As soon as I removed the key, inserted it back and tried to twist...

DSG 2010 GOLF GTI

I have the lock cylinder out of the car but I cannot turn the ignition key to line up the dot to use the paperclip method of barrel lock removal.

I am replacing the lock cylinder so happy to destroy it but wondered if anyone had any tips to remove the barrel...

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible and easy enough to swap the lock barrel on the drivers side door with the passenger side?

Didn't manage to find a tutorial but would greatly appreciate if someone has one they could link!

Hey all,

When starting my Mk4 golf 1.8 last week there was a loud snapping noise in the ignition barrel and now the key stays in the "start" position without any spring back and the car does not turn over / start.

I have removed the steering wheel, lock cylinder and...

Has anyone else experienced something similar? It's where the key fob inserts into the ignition barrel. No rattles on hot days, but when it's a cold morning, the rattle is moderately loud and persistent until the car warms up. It's like the key fob is about to fall out of the ignition barrel even...

Hey,
My GF has an 06 Jetta and a few times in the last week she has not been able to turn the ignition off as the key has remained stuck. It has proven difficult to turn the key counter-clockwise into the off position and to remove the key.
There is quite a bit of notchiness with the...

Hi, I'm on my second T5 Transporter. Had a few issues so come here often to read for any solutions. Currently looking at alternatives to a $1400 key barrel repair. Has anyone tried to install a Start/Stop button kit to bypass the obscene replacement cost of a key barrel? Cheers, Mario.

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

Hey guys,

Looking for an ignition barrel and door barrels with keys to match!

If anyone is wrecking a mk1 or has spares this would be greatly appreciated!! I believe beetle barrels also fit?

Cheers,

My ignition barrel has buggered itself, so I am in need of a new one! I'm not too fussed if it comes with keys or the ignition switch, just as long as the little tab inside the barrel hasn't broken off.
