the ignition switch on my newly aquired GTi has failed, in that the key end has broken from the key and there's no way I can retrieve it. So does anyone have a decent one I could buy?
Then remove a tiny little bolt in the side of the ignition barrel. Withdraw the barrel and detach wiring which goes under the dash towards the centre console.
in the haynes it says you have to turn the key between position A & C to allow the spring release to be pushed in & that will allow the barrel to be removed. Mine won't move but I am ever hopeful it will be an easy job. Should be here tomorrow so thursday eve I'll be working in the rain no doubt!
well retrieved broken part of key, but still cannot get the spare to go into the barrel. Lots of wiggling and oil still no joy. Oh well there's always tomorrow!
