GOLF 5 GTI IGNITION

Post by m3eater »

Good morning all.
I need some urgent help please so anyone that experienced the following please give me your advice on what to do.
So getting in my car this morning I could not turn my key. Tried the spare also no joy.
It all started a while ago but normally a bit of Q20 did the trick. A week later the same and Q20 again.
This morning was different. 1 HOUR later and still struggling to turn that key.
What do I need to do please anyone??? :bang:
Regards
if you wanna hang out with the dogs, don't p@%$s like a puppy.

The MKV's had some issues with the ignition, quite common, but depending on the issue can be expensive to fix, as in new barrel or something similar.
You need to get a locksmith to check it out, my mate had an issue with his Jetta MKV and it was around 6K to fix!

I had the same issue with my Mk3 caddy it’s the tumblers inside the barrel that needs to be replaced a locksmith will sort it. It was under R500 to fix. Q20 is the worst thing u can spray into an ignition or door lock. Use graphite powder rather.
