A customer contacted us after experiencing a problem with the ignition on his Volkswagen GTI MK5. He was getting ready to drive when he inserted the key and discovered that it would not turn all the way to the Start position. The key would only turn as far as the IGN position.
The customer tried several times to turn the ignition on and start the vehicle, but the key would not rotate any further.
Our Volkswagen locksmith was dispatched to the vehicle and arrived with a replacement ignition lock cylinder. After inspecting the problem, our specialist confirmed that the ignition lock cylinder required replacement.
The VW ignition lock cylinder replacement was successfully completed on site. Once the new cylinder was installed, the ignition and key operation were checked, and the vehicle was ready to drive again.
The customer was able to continue with his plans just a few hours after contacting us.
