2009 Audi A3 ignition cylinder replacement VW jetta passat

[@sirrab93]

Thanks for the video. My key was stuck in the ignition of my 2007 a3. After watching your video, I got the confidence to do the job my self. It was not easy. I managed to get a barrel from the breakers yard and fit it. I saved my self a pocket full of money. Now I will not be terrified of this job and I will be able to do this job a lot quicker. Thanks again.

[@runningon-dinosaurs1569]

Hi Jabo thanks this helped me out on a UK spec. RHD 2010 8J TT. If it helps anyone else from 11:40- to remove the switch electroninc unit easily, remove the silver #9 torx screw, just below it is a small hole. Push a 2.5mm or 3/32'' drill into this hole put it in about 45mm just under 2 inches, to release the front clip. Box will hang down. Now get a torch and look behind the central rear plug for this unit , you will see another clip push this clip gently and the unit will be released. Take care with this unit as it contains static sensitive electroninc components. Rest of this guide was spot on so thanks again .

Great video, i used it when my A3 ignition switch broke. After i connected the battery the ESP light and steering warning lights came on. However just turning the wheel fully left and fully right fixed the issue, the ESP went off as soon as i drove it, so many thanks

[@vannid1432]

😮

[@paudieb]

thanks so much for this vid. was really helpful. mine broke last week and this vid really made the replacement so easy. thanks. I struggled with taking off that module under the steering as well, but found online that if you put a tiny long screwdriver or small allen key all the way down into the small hole on the module that faceses your drivers position, that it pops it off. the second clip can be released from the rear of that module simply with your index finger.

Glad it helped and thanks for the input

Great video, I’m sure I’m the 159 guy to say that! Great job, I stumbled on your video after repairing someone hacked job of an ignition replacement. I programmed some blank keys that needed the chip to start the car.

[@CiraAdrian]

Thanks for the life saving instructions. I got stranded and was forced to remove the cilinder, that was jamed and locking the steering wheel, in order to drive back. Aniway, I changed it and now I have the airbag warning light on, and also the washer fluid and rear wiper won't work. For the airbag I was thinking it's because I drove without the steering wheel airbag connected. And I hope it will dissapear one I erase it with a diagnose tool. But for the wiper lever partialy functional, I have no ideea.

[@boshaveit]

My ignition did the same today, apart from it would not turn on. 6 - 8 week wait to get the part from Germany. At least now I know how to change it when it arrives, great video 👍🏻

[@siennamayh]

Great guide 👍 . Wouldn’t have had a clue what to do without it. Although I did consult other videos to use the no drill method and cut slots in the top of the bolts to tighten them back in with a screwdriver. Took my time , as it took 3 weeks for Audi to get me the correct barrel anyway! Got there in the end :)

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad it helped!

[@sabelomabaso5848]

Guys I'm still not sure how to take out this box underneath the ignition, the plugs are both out but I'm stuck

Did you end managing to take the box off? what was stopping it?@@sabelomabaso5848

[@ELPICHO1990]

If your key is stuck and can’t take it off or doesn’t want to turn on just release the tilt at the bottom and give it some movement up n down a little hard and then try to turn your key might have to try a couple of times or move it a little harder but it does work a couple of times

[@lindseysloan8735]

So...I have an 06 Audi a6 Avant and having issues with I'm guessing the starter? My key gets stuck and car won't even let me unlock doors, move seats, pop trunk. I have had to jump it each time which releases my key and starts car. Unfortunately, with the cost of actually going to get it fixed by someone, I will have to do it myself or get rid of her. I have had this car for 14 years now and it makes me physically ill to think of not having it anymore. If you have any advice on this and if it is something "easily" fixable that would be very helpful.

[@elcapitan6605]

22:20 you mention that "make sure you transfer this guy" so what is that part ? I have 2006 Octavia and my key wont go to ON position anymore, it is stuck. Now I cannot use the pin-method to take the sylinder out, I have spare part lock and from that I managed to get the cylinder out.. Can I force the cars key to turn to ON position with any means? If I have to take the old lock (and wheel etc) and replace the whole thing with new spare part, is it necessary to transfer also that part that you mention at 22:20

I've had the same problem with my wife's 2005 Audi A3 and had local dealer to replace the ignition cylinder. However, once the problem with the stuck key was resolved, another one came into place just after the car left the shop. Now we have PRNDS indicator blinking when the selector is in R, N D, or S position. Any ideas what could went wrong during cylinder replacement, so we are having this blinking issue now? I mean it is clearly an electrical issue, since the car shifts and drives smoothly as before.

Hey after you take the steering wheel off and you get to the black box below the steering wheel where you had trouble with the yellow air bag clip in the back you can just remove the black bottom plate, take out the green electronics board and push 2 black clips to get that out. It all just slides out and you dont even have to worry about unplugging the yellow and black plugin. Did you want me to make a quick video to show you?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yes please!

Oh my god that was so much easier!!! Took about 30 seconds, couldn't help but laugh. Thanks both!!

I have exactly same vehicle and issue happened to me 2 days ago. I need to know, does the key need to be programmed after I change the ignition switch, or can I use old key right away ?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

I used the old key. No need for a program

[@alim555abdul]

I have the same problem, I ordered a part and it came with a new key but not the fob, I wanted to know if it will have a problem communicating with the transponder.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

There is a pin that lets you switch out the transponder. I show it in the video

Well thats your mechanics fault he needs to fix his mistake

[@kristinelynch6718]

We need to replace the key lock cylinder on our Audi A4 2007. Dealer is unable to get the part due to manufacturing plant being closed due to covid 19. So, we found a salvage part with key. Will this process be the same with a salvaged part? Can we still use the same key in the current car or will we have to have the dealer reprogram entire car? The dealer actually said it could be a month or longer to get the part. So we are trying to come up with an alternate plan. Let me know what you think. Thank you.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Even though they say it will take a month doesnt mean that. I got mine in 3days. If you get it from a junk yard you dont need to program if you switch the key heads

[@kristinelynch6718]

Jabo The Mechanic Thank you. Is it easy to switch the key heads? We need to replace the key lock cylinder and tumbler. Where did you get this part? Dealer literally told us it’s impossible to get this part new due to the plant not being open. Thoughts?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Not true. You can order it. On the key head has a pin. I show you how to remove it in the video.

I'm awaiting the ignition cylinder and I realize I have to have the ignition housing and cylinder in the ON position in order to connect them, correct?

[@tmoney1971]

Just noticed your thread with Seb Hall below and just wanted to clarify that you can connect the new ignition housing cylinder and the new ignition cylinder even tho the housing cylinder is already in the locked position? Asking because I don't have the ignition cylinder yet from the dealer.
