How To Fix An Ignition Lock Cylinder | VW Golf/Jetta Mk5

[@davemansfield8653]

Thank you for your help! I found using a right-angle adapter for my drill and a set of screw extractors worked much better than chiseling for getting out those horrible security bolts.

[@MegatronicsZA]

Those bolts are the worst thing ever, a dremel also works well to cut a groove on the bolt so you can get a screw driver on those bolts

[@DM-vl6kl]

Use an oscillating tool with blade to cut metal make sure blade is small enough to fit it the hole then use a flat head screw driver

[@MegatronicsZA]

Yeah a grinder would work well, a dremel too is also a good compact tool to get in there.

[@felixhartmann4782]

nice vid bro. are those m8 bolts you are using?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Thanks man... The bolts are M10. With the same length as the original ones

[@MegatronicsZA]

Thank you Alan, I appreciate it 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@KimberlyBrooks-s7b]

I hope I can do this!

[@MegatronicsZA]

You can, the difficult part is getting the security bolts out.

[@vrcustoms7]

Happend to out golf today, cant turn it off. Not looking forward for this project

[@MegatronicsZA]

@@vrcustoms7 damn with me too it started like that. The job is really not difficult, the hard part is getting those screws out! That's worse

[@paveltarasenko5486]

hi what was the reason? the eps lamp lit up? Good morning

[@MegatronicsZA]

@@paveltarasenko5486 hey... The reason was that the key would no longer turn, I wasn't able to turn on accessories or even start the car.

[@paveltarasenko5486]

@@MegatronicsZA thank you. I have a trouble p2535 and light eps. From car scanner writes ignition switch run/ start position curciut high

[@MegatronicsZA]

@@paveltarasenko5486 from the ignition, there's a switch that turns on the car when you press on the button. It must be burnt, replace it.

[@paveltarasenko5486]

@@MegatronicsZA the car starts without problems. what are you talking about? about fuses? or in the lock on the left not where the key is, there is a connector and it needs to be replaced 5q0905849

[@CodyDinnell-wf1ue]

Did you just get all the broken parts out an it just started working again?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Yes, if you watch the full video I tested it at the end. Even right now my car key turns with the slightest of effort.

[@PaPaPowell07]

I’m stuck on getting the barrel out with the paper clip. It just won’t go down all the way and yes the key is turned.

[@MegatronicsZA]

Please try to get a longer thin and strong wire that can fit and push it down firmly, since it will be strong it won't bend and when it has reached a stop try pulling the barrel while pushing down the wire. It will come off.

[@PaPaPowell07]

@@MegatronicsZA I just literally got it with a hair pin. I just had to wiggle it a bunch and yes it just popped right out. Thanks for the reply.

[@MegatronicsZA]

@@PaPaPowell07 lol I guess it wanted you to show that you're serious about it... I'm glad it came out. It's a pleasure man 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@davemansfield8653]

I tired tiny allen wrenches, bvut eventually it worked with a paper clip and some patience.

[@KarlRamel]

Hi! I can’t turn my key to on to align with the hole. How did u do it?

[@MegatronicsZA]

Hey, when the key is stuck try to turn it by being gentle and soft for at least 4-5 times, then on the 6th try turn the key hard it will eventually turn.

[@MarvinsBloops]

i can confirm this works!!!

[@MegatronicsZA]

@MarvinsBloops I'm glad it has also worked for you as it did for me. I appreciate you supporting the channel 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
