Thanks very much for uploading this. I like the way you point out the tabs and which way they work. Without your help I would have paid a vehicle locksmith a ton of money to sort out my broken steering lock.

Toughest part of disassemble was getting the airbag removed. Have to pull very hard. The key wouldn’t release, so I had to cut the back of the old mechanism off to get it to release. Went back together about 15 minutes. Works like a charm. New part is $170 USD at this date Thanks dude!

You know if the new one needs to be programmed

[@dom1982c]

You just made a complicated job look very easy. Great video.

Many thanks for doing this video. You save my Caddy.🙏🏻 I do some things differently than you and I don't have to remove the steering wheel, I use bolt remover for the broken bolts (have to dril a 3.5mm hole in the screw head) and a torx bit instead a screwdriver. Works very well. Without this video I never be able to fix it. Thanks and I wish you the best.

[@cyruscameron1856]

Best video. Wish this was the first one I found

Thank you for the video, I just got my Jetta done.the only struggle was getting the top screws out so I drilled a notch on the top and hammer them out just like you,and also I was able to keep my same key. 👍👍

[@shakzahmed1]

How was this possible can i ask sorry, because wouldnt a different barrel have different patterns?

[@mariuszbabynko1135]

Everything is beautifully shown, such people really help because there are so many unknowns so as not to damage the hooks. Greetings from Poland. Have a nice day, sir

On Jetta .don't need to remove steering wheel. Remove plastic surroundings. 2 top screws . Disconnect electrical plugs. Pry out cylinder.

[@Retanishi]

I glued a nut with jb weld to the screw head and was able to remove it easily.

Question about the 3 plug harness that connects to back of actual switch- the middle connects inside of black box -but --where does the last (two wire) plug connect?

[@telosfd]

Difficult to undo center bolt is any threads glue to give more force? Thanks for tutorial.

[@carlosmoreno9094]

Thank you

[@chris_in_hd]

I don’t understand why you taking the steering wheel off 😅😅

[@jorgeahernandez9529]

Awsome video I was wondering I got a new ignition switch with key do I have to program the key ?

[@CarFixEasy]

Yes, you have to program it. I have replaced just cylinder housing.

[@Bubi0]

If I change the steering wheel lock and ignition lock, do the keys have to be programmed with VCDs?

[@CarFixEasy]

Don't need if you use same key.

[@blatt5478]

👌👌👌🏆🥇

[@MeepMeep88]

7:45 lol don't do it the way this guy does it here.. His looked like they were barely tightened. Mine I had to use a screw extractor it was that stuck on there.

[@PartyOvOne]

Yeah this was a good video to watch to let me know I need to call my mechanic :,)

[@aliasgaramirali323]

[@matebolecsek6180]

[@MrBeleth85]

[@yuniorfonseca2668]

Vea ejemplifica más esa tapa no sale así de fácil enseña el cierre gracias

[@saulgallegos9014]

I replaced that, then car start but shut off, car key immobilizer flash any one know what to do?

[@realMrVent]

Did you reconnect all cables? If the reading coil isn't connected to the ECU, it can't detect your key's transponder.
