Help with replacing ignition switch

[silver4444uk]

Hello everybody,

I have just bought a Mk 5 for my daughter and unfortunately it has a dodgy ignition switch.

Can some kind soul out there give me some pointers as to how to change it and what is the recommended make of the replacement part ?

Many thanks,

S.

Welcome

Use only a genuine VW ignition switch - pattern parts arent reliable for things like this

Id suggest you get a haynes manual as the replacement isnt the easiest as it requires drilling at a very specific point on the steering column to extract the old one

thanks again,
