MK3.5 ignition barrel change.

[Nicklouse]

I will be changing out the barrel as mine is getting worse and a new key will not turn in it at all.

Have had a look on YouTube for info as has been sugested on a MK5 golf. Now that looks like pre facelift. The Haynes manual is ok describing it but should I be looking at MK6 Golf or?..

The stalks are one piece.

And the barrel looks like this I think

And the part number given by TPS is 107905855CF

Any tips etc much appreciated. Will do a how to on it.

Hi Nick, Was that part enough to do the job? The ignition barrel on my 2010 Mk3 caddy first was a bit sticky and is now turning 360 degrees with no result!

Not done anything with it yet.
It is behaving but will need doing at some time.

If you look on the face around where the key goes in. Is there a small hole?
The ones that I have done (several years ago)

You had to put the key in, insert a rod into the hole, slowly turn the key and the rod would go into the hole and that would release the barrel.
