- For 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 Volkswagen Jetta MK5 Ignition Lock Replacement.
I did this on my 2008 volkswagen Jetta 2.5L automatic transmission.
This video was incredible. A couple of things to note for those attempting it. DO NOT be fooled into believing those two bolts, can only be done by a right angle drill. The column will drop and slide back by 6-8 inches with only 4 bolts. The bolts are easy to see, just shine a flashilight along the column. There are two brackets on the rear bolts. Just remember or photo their orientation. A 13mm socket and 2-3 different size extensions make this removal and install a definite thing to consider as a time and money saver over investing in right angle tools. I was able to drill and tap the bolts using a normal drill and was able to see! making this a no-brainer in my opinion. I used two m8 1.25 x 20 bolts (hardware store) with a washer on top to replace them! You dont have to go to the dealer. Also, two other points. in order to get the key out with the paperclip trick. make sure the paperclip hole lines up with the little divit in the plastic around the key otherwise it will never come out. I had to refer to MiPiMeRu video to learn this. Also IF YOU HAVE A STANDARD, you will have a two prong plug leftover on the new aluminum ignition. This video and MiPiMeRu does not address this. DONT PANIC, that extra plug is only used for Automatic transmission vehicles
You're doing the lords work my man! 4 years later and probably more years down the road people will be thanking you for this. Thank you!
2023 and I am currently struggling with this situation. Bless this man! I am about to work on my car using this video!
You are doing the Lord's work, young man. I'm 40 I was fighting this thing for a f****** hour. Watch your video it was out in two minutes thank you
A surprisingly good video. Step by step instructions, quickly. As good as Bentley!
OMG that was the greatest DIY video of all time! I ordered my part and I have three days to start this process before the part gets here. I have made a list of tools and such and I feel totally ready to take this on. Even the little details abut how the clips work and how the switches pull off are in amazing detail. I'm buying a right angle small reversible drill from Harbor Freight, so I am not even that worried about the drilling and easy out of the screws for this job, after seeing your explanation. I know it has been 2 1/2 years since you posted this, so I'm not sure if you will ever revisit this and see my comment, but from the bottom of my heart I thank for your taking the time to do this. You are a real You Tube gem! Thanks!
Yes, this is a great video, but save your money on the drill. I did this repair (watched a ton of videos and read lots of comments) and you don't need that. Simply tapping the security bolts with a small chisel or pick will loosen those bolts--and they come out easy.
@@tmoney1971 This is correct , also I've seen people take a small angle grinder and make flat head cuts into the bolts to put them back in using a regular flat head screw driver , you can also chisel and hammer them back in i suppose.
@@jinxxpwnage Yes, I've seen that too, but that's too much work. Just tap security bolt at an angle with a pick or chisel (or even flat head screwdriver) and bolts loosen immediately. I then replaced those with hex bolts. Happy Repairs!
RIGHT HAND DRIVERS NOTE - Firstly, thanks for publishing this, terrific effort. Couple of points I'd add. 1. Removing the steering wheel control module for right side drivers is a bugger to get to the rear harness as we can't see it or get a screwdriver to it, I gave up, left it in and just push the rear module clip, then front one and let it hang 2. the two Security bolts, as per @Cody Toppel's comments I removed the 4 column bolts - I had to remove a bit of plastic underneath to view/access them from below and for the rear left side one push my extension between where two of the plastic cowlings meet. I then used a pointed punch and hammer to unscrew them, quite easy really. 3. Removing the key barrel from ignition unit I used a 1.5mm allen key, much easier than paper clip. Cheers guys.
I am impressed how well the guy that made this video explained what he is doing. Thank you. Take care.
What a great video ! Guided me step by step. I took even longer than you, but 255K miles and back on the road thanks to you !
This video saved me from being stranded at the beach. Thank you so much!
I just want to say thank you man, you've made the absolute best video of this procedure. You've saved my ass.
Nicely done. slow and steady is the way to be. You saved yourself 800 bucks, just think of that as money earned. A perfect example of what youtube is for, People helping people, not advertising.
This was a great video! Thank you for sharing. I was able to knock out this job on my wife’s Jetta without a problem.
You have NO IDEA HOW GRATEFUL I AM. I just completed the job thank you!!!!!!
Thanks a lot for this video! I was able to fix my Jetta 06 2.5L, God bless you.
There are a few videos on CZcams for ignition replacement on the VW Jetta. This one by far is the best one out there. Nice job. Got it done quickly using your video. It was spot on.
Thank you...I just completed this task over the weekend. Couldn't have done it without this video. Only problem I ran into was that I broke a drill bit in one of the shear screws. Had to use a punch & chisel.
*applause* Phenomenal video! Thank you SO much for sharing documenting this process so very well and sharing it with the world. You, my good sir, have saved myself, and many other people, a shit ton of money. Not to mention saving us from being taken advantage of by the crooks at the dealerships/repair shops. Cheers!!!
Thank you for showing how to get the sensor out of the housing. My replacement did not come with a sensor, and I never would have figured out that you had to use two thin wires/paperclips to release it. Thank you so much.
Absolutely Great Video! I couldn't have removed my switch without this video. Spot on to the end. Thank you sir! Great job 😎
For someone holding the camera with your left hand the whole time you did a really good job explaining and demonstrating man. Good job.
Thank you for your video, I repaired my car with your step by step instructions.
Brilliant step by step video thanks for taking the time to do this.
There's a lot of differing comments about accidentally turning the cylinder to off and having to buy a second one after realizing the mistake. If you don't mind losing the steering lock, just angle grind through the black metal plug (it was virtualy impossible for me to drill into), pop it out and remove the spring and indented silver cylinder-plug. Now you're back in action and learned your lesson.
Absolutely solid video! Easy to follow and well explained. I was able to negotiate a DeWalt drill to pilot the holes in the steering bolts. An impact driver ended up being the winning tool after an hour or more of trying to break the bolts loose. Nothing seemed to get any traction prior. Also, in my case the key would not turned to on position and so I needed to drop the cylinder from the steering column in lieu of being able to pull the entire assembly. To do this remove the wiper and blinker arms to gain access to the slots where the ignition housing clips in.
Thanks for this video dude. It was very helpful. After I serviced it, it literally snaps back together so fast. I had to replace the key ID and the column lock. The wipers didn't work for half an hour. Good job though. German engineering!
Concur with everyone thank you for the video. It saved us from having the pay the dealership hundreds of dollars and save us the cost of a rental car.
I meant it was fun to do. A good job to do. Thanks again. The best video I found for this job.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great video-I completed this repair today and it was SUPER satisfying to save the giant pile of money this would have cost. Also wanted to echo what a few others have said here, that you definitely don’t need to take the steering wheel apart at all to do this. It’s a little tricky to feel around for some of the little release tabs in the back, but well worth it to save a lot of extra work and the potential danger of the airbag going off if the residual charge isn’t drained!
Hey Trevor, is there a link to a video for how to do this without removing the steering wheel? Thanks.
@@tmoney1971 I couldn't find one, unfortunately. I just read what "Crispy Bacon" wrote in the comments here, combined with some trial and error on my own feeling around for some stuff in back. That's the only thing that's slightly tricky, since you can't see everything, but I promise it's possible and preferable to taking the whole steering wheel apart!
@@trevorjarvis8231 Thanks for your reply! I have a 2010 Jetta and didn't see how I could avoid removing the steering wheel, etc...I've had a few hiccups but hope to have car running asap! Thanks again!
With a VW EOS 2009, I don't see any way possible to do this without taking the steering wheel off. Even if there was a way, this approach seems the most straight forward.
What a great video. Thanks so much for spending the time.
You can pick-up a right angle attachment for your cordless drill/impact drill for about $20 at the local big box hardware store to make drilling out the shear bolts a little easier. Other videos show using a paper clip to remove the lock cylinder, but the bobby pin shown here and a pair of needle nose makes it much easier on the fingers. Hardest part for me was removing the front clip on the control module.
So far, we are through the disassembly stage and are waiting on the $56 locking cylinder to arrive by Amazon tomorrow. I elected to pick up M8-1.25 by 20MM socket head cap screws from PepBoys versus the OEM shear bolts.
I expect to have my son back on the road in his '08 Jetta in no time. Thanks Cameron!
Thanks so much. I couldn't have done it without your video.
I would just like to say this dude is fucking gangster! I hardly ever come across someone who can figure out something I can’t on a vehicle and this guy nailed it. Bravo but you’re one hell of a mechanic
Was able to knock this job out in a reasonable time with the help of this video. This job was definitely a tough task!👍🏾
Thank you Cameron for the video. The bolts were a nightmare. I used a titanium drill bit 7/64 and when my screw extractor would not bite, I was able to hammer a small flathead into the drill hole and back out the bolt with shear force (see what I did there haha). Praise the Lord the Jetta is running again. Thanks again man. Additionally, I did not remove the steering wheel per the advice of some others on here. Crispy Bacon I think provided that tip.
Awesome- This looks the same as the Tiguan. My sister has a jammed key. This vid was highly valuable! Will try to this next weekend
Hands down one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. Thanks man fixed my daughters 09 and it was a breeze w/ your video.
Did the turn signal lever and windshield wiper lever cluster slide off for you like his did in the video??
I have an 09 as well, I’m trying to do the same job but my cluster won’t slide off, I removed the security bolts and it still won’t come off
I have the same problem. Do I have to get new keys and reprogram the keys once I’m finished. I’m just confused
@@themachine8009 use the original lock and key, don't use the new one.
Hey man, just wanna thank you for making such an awesome video, job took me a few days because of some missing parts and what not
Great video mate, well done and extremely helpful. Thanks
Thanks for a useful video Cameron. This helped me out immensely. I do love you say the two bolts that have the breakoff heads is "amazing", not quite the word I used. LOL. One came out very easily, the other took 90 minutes of carefully bumping up in drill bit and extractor to get out, it was way too tight. Thanks again.
Very helpful and comprehensive guide, many thanks to you Cameron.
Two things, I found I could leave the black cable attached to the steering control module until after I had dropped it down from the column, made it easy to unclip. Also had the steering assist warning light lit up after reconnecting battery, it went out after I had driven the car a few hundred yards. All good now.
Great video babe , Have a mechanic giving me grief !! Thanks for the detail and the tools used!!
Thanks for this great video it help me a great deal. Great job!
great video, i was having troubles with my 2001 Audi lock cylinder not coming out. multiple videos later this video showed me everything i needed and more. THANK YOU!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! This video helped me to repair my Touran. Well done!
Thanks for the video! Just did mine .. difficult ignition key removal took over half the time of the entire rest of the otherwise simple project! 😣
Top qualiity video. Got to try this on my Skoda now.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Cameron.
Great tutorial, really helped me do it much faster.
Very nice video and very well explained.....
this video helped me out on my Jetta 2006
Thanks so much for this video, I did the same job on my seat leon 2007. Everything is the same except the look of stearing wheel, so You can add it to a title... 👍
Thx man , you saved me a lot of time
Many thanks for do this video ... you help me a lot to replace my Touran 1T ignition... with your video i save 250€
Good information. Thank you very much. I followed all the steps and bought the lock cylinder online for $56. I replaced the M8 shear bolts with socket head cap screws. Huge savings over the dealer. I did screw-up putting the steering wheel back with the marks lined up. The ESP OFF warning light wouldn't go out and the wheel wasn't quite centered when I was driving straight. Once I realized my mistake and put the steering wheel on right, the warning lights went out after a short 20mph drive.
M Krot hey there, my key turns halfway forward and won’t turn on my car I believe is the ignition switch and I’m thinking about buying the switch and cylinder lock? Not sure if that’s what is called is the metal part. Did you have to reprogram anything at all? Was your part new? Appreciate your reply I’m trying to fix mine but not sure if It has to be reprogram. Mine is a 2011 Jetta thank hou
@@chuglee984 When I called the VW dealer and told them I was replacing the cylinder lock, they told me I had to come to the VW dealer to prove I owned the car including the VIN and that I would need to wait for 10 days to get the ignition lock cylinder. After I hung up, I checked the title of this video, and Cameron Lewis includes the ID of the part you need to purchase (OEM 1K0905841) which is the cylinder lock housing (not the key cylinder). No wait, no reprogramming. I bought the OEM version online and the shear bolts from www.vwkearnymesaparts.com/ for $151.09 (free pickup or you need to pay for shipping).
Thank you!!!, Very thourough video. FYI if you cant turn the key to release the key housing, Cut the lock in half and the guts will let go. Then you can use the pin trick.
Thank you for the informative video! After hours of fighting with the security bolts, I was able to successfully replace the ignition lock . Saved $1000 from what the dealership quoted.

$1000 ? American prices are insane. I fix it today by myself. Parts cost 8$
Did u have to reprogram it and if so how was the key on lock when u put it in i cant get the new switch to unlock
@@jonathansjonathan2817 You dont need program anything
Thanks a lot u r a life saver really appreciate your work.
Unfortunately I couldn't open that screws LOOL but again thanks.
Mine just quit on me. What an amazing video. Thanks.
The Drilling killed it for me. I’ll go to a shop. You did a great job on this video though. You didn’t miss a thing. I love it.
The drilling also almost killed it for me. But then Alan W and Astral Auto Repairs videos showed how it could be done easily, and it actually worked. This was the part of the repair that scared me the most, but actually was fairly easily done...
Steve Codling hi I’m going right now follow you and stopped on those two screws. Bough some hardened bits for extraction but my screws didn’t have any heads. Originally flat heads. Trying with impact drill but still don’t move. And this is the first one...
@@srcodling It took me 5 hours to try to carefully drill and extract. I found it was most important to ensure you're drill in the center of the bolts. The simplest technique may be to use a chisel and turn the bolts out. Once you break them free, they turn easily. Another technique would be to drill through the bolts (not worrying about the threads). This is because you are replacing the housing which has new threads along with new bolts.
trying this fix in morning
great video
Thanks Alot... You Saved Me Some Bucks With Your Video...
Thank you so much! Great video the dealer told me 1,000 something b/c they have to switch keys and that would be two weeks to come in.
you the man! Thanks for the video!
FYI the fabric cover that is attached to the plastic top piece is snapped on by a panel with 2 clips; you can just pull it off to reveal 2 screws straight ahead. Take those torx screws off (T20) and then pull out the instrument cluster to have more room for the extraction of the bolts. They are M8x1.25 and about 1 inch long.
Great job and you explained the process very well...thank you!
$20 at the scrap yard, so $900 in savings, that's the route I took for a MK6. Made sure i put Litium grease (from a spray can) into the cylinder and locking tab before i installed the key lock. Works like a charm (after re-assembly, of course!)
Thank you for the video, I didn’t have to spend $800 that I didn’t have to pay the dealership.
Really impressive great job camron
Awesome man. Thanks for your help!
Excellent work.
THANK YOU so much! This really helped me to get my stocked lock out and replaced. 1000 thumbs up!
Awesome video very detailed worked just fine thank you
Question. I got a whole new set of keys and a new ignition cylinder. The black part you replaced. If I replace the parts do I have to program the immobilizer for the new set of keys?
Just amazing video,I always said,everybody can do it..!!,thanks Cameron 🤜🏻🤛🏼
Thank you man thank you you saved me a whole lot of money.
Great video, many thanks, plz advise if the same applies to my 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 103 TDI 1KM MY10 4D SEDAN 6 SP AUTO
DIRECT SHI DT4 DIESEL TURBO F/INJ?
God blessings to you..very great video and tricks teaching...thanks
Great job, amigo. I replaced ignition cylinder on my sons Jetta. It works like a charm. 🤠
Nice work!
How? Details please
Thank you, as I am about to replace my steering module, and do the clutch and timing chains as my mk5 rabbit is at 195,000 kms after 10 years, and needs it now... no way I am paying 5k for a timing repair, as the dealer tells me now... lol
Thanks man you saved me a lot of money. 💸🍻
The victory laugh at the end gave me motivation to fix my car. Thanks dude🥹❤️
Thanks to you, I just finished replacing this part on my cousins 08 Jetta! Just a few things I had to do different:
06:00 I couldn't for the life of me access that red locking tab to remove the connector. I left that connector on and was able to push in the tab at 06:35 with a pocket screw driver from behind, just like how you accessed it with your finger. So I was able to disconnect that connector after the steering module was dropped.
07:45 I had no bits or extractors for those scews. I ended up using a sharp thin chisel and a hammer. Just had to make sure I was chiseling in the direction you unscrew the bolts. It was a little tedious, but they both ended up breaking loose. Also, the good thing was the fact that they threaded out easily with a small pick as soon as they broke loose.
Other than that, I followed you step by step. Once again, thank you!
Does this have to be programmed after the replacement?
@@adrianacerda682 nope
After you put the new ignition cylinder, did you have any issues with engine immobilizer? I am, an tips or proper steps. O have just a basic key. No electronics.
Thank you friend you saved me from getting angry and smashing everything.
I was also gonna do that
Excellent video. Thanks!
Wow. Amazing!!! Thank you very much
Followed this video to change my ignition barrel + housing in one as my key was not turning, found a full set on Ebay for £63 (Ingitional barrel, housing and door lock). Car is now fully working!
My key was not stuck at I had to work out how to take out indicator and wiper module from a different video. I also followed Alan W's hammer + chisel technique to undo the security bolts (I was even able to re-use these bolts)
Please take your time on this job and make sure you have all the tools ready especially T55 + T8.
ahhh so if my key isnt turning ill need the housing as well? , i only got the lock cylinder
@@dhood1000 You would need to change the whole set, buy this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK5-2004-2009-IGNITION-BARREL-DOOR-LOCK-WITH-KEY-1K0905851B-/143552255677?hash=item216c6196bd&_trkparms=pageci%3Accc397b9-6382-11ea-8ba1-74dbd1805c72%7Cparentrq%3Ac921d2b41700ad4cc2c00f81ffe187ed%7Ciid%3A1
Thanx alot mahn. This really helped me so much
Nailed it. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic video! This is a great point to start ! I managed to remove the lower cover and the ignition lock without removing the steering wheel, on a Touran. Tilting the steering wheel 45degrees, I got access to the 2 screws for the lower cover. I removed the servodrive controller and then the ignition lock. I followed the advice of timateMassacre and I easily removed the cover with the fabric piece and using a battery Dremel with 90° adaptor, i drilled a hole in the screws, 3.2mm if I remember well, I hammered a Torx bit inside, I put some WD40 and after 1 minute I tried to unscrew and they went out flawlessly. Now putting a new ignition lock I will use 5mm with hexagon bolt and not the original ones. Thank you.
Edit: I forgot to add that I had to make a cut on a lower cover, from the ignition key to the front of the car, in order to extract it, otherwise the key will prevent this.
I don't know why the name appeared wrong. I wrote: Khoi Nguyen, some posts, bellow.
Just did this your comment helped alot
my 2010 jetta has been at a shop for a whole month now with this exact problem, but I found out the hard way it's just a bad shop. I wish I would've seen this video beforehand
Great video. Looks complicated job.
Thanks bro badass video 👌🏻
Thank you for this job.
Thanks, great video. My dealer gave me a rough quote of $800. I was able to get everthing apart, just waiting on the new ignition lock I ordered off Amazon for $56.
Dang I totally forgot to check amazon, I spent 200 at the parts store
@@justinmccullough222 I got the part and the install went off without a hitch.
Thanks! Mine went bad yesterday...
finished this today, you definitely don't need to take all of this off though. Drilled into the two sheer bolts and then reversed them out with a reverse bit. Then used your tips to get the key part itself out. Didn't take the steering wheel off etc. But regardless thanks for the info here
Thank you for this Great video! 👏👏
Wow, after watching this video. Which you did an amazing job on. I will never buy a Jetta. Or any other car that so much is required for simple problem, like changing the ignition. Wow. Drilling in to a screw that the factory purposely brakes off so you can't unscrew. That is crazy. A friend of mine has this problem, well he can't get the key in. But Nice video.

Thank you for the tips God bless you 🙏 😊
