Mk5 General Area / Ignition stuck

« Last post by Jons1001 on Today at 06:06:31 pm »

Hi all,

As above having problems with the ignition being stuck, takes a lot of wiggling the key and wheel at the same time to be able to start the car. Will it be a new barrel I need or will there be something else potentially? Any way to know for sure without stripping it all?

Also do you think I can get away with aftermarket? Car is a 2008 mk5 gti.

Thanks

I am going to make up a few of the cruise control wires for retrofit purposes if there is interest.

Hi, I do have someone interested in the car so I will lock this post for now. If it falls through I'll repost.

Thanks

There are two types of steering wheel modules and the slip ring has to match the same type.

You need to work off the type that was originally fitted to the car.

https://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Steering_Wheel_Control_Module_Versions

Then the coding has to be done in one hit and in the order stated, as otherwise it just does not take for whatever reason.

The original module was 1K0-953-549-A and slip ring 1K0-959-653. Is there an easy way i can confirm if got a wrong or faulty part? I was following the website when ordering stuff and got the highline module (1K0-953-549-BD) and type 2 slip ring (K0-959-653-C). I do have another slip ring i got for free with the steering wheel, but its from a passat 3C0-959-653-B so not sure that it will work

Been planning to retrofit cruise control to the GTI and finally did it today.

Hardest part was fitting the missing control wire with mine being a 2005 and missing it. I made and then added the missing control wire as people ask stupid money for it,  by ordering the different pins from Aliexpress etc.....fitted and worked perfectly. I also got a secondhand stalk 1K0953513G off eBay and went ahead to fit. I already have the highline dash and modules so was sorted there. Coded it up and all works great  For the total cost of £30 in parts.
