Product Description

This Sebring ignition barrel and housing is designed for reliable operation in your vehicle's ignition system. It forms the core assembly where the ignition key is inserted and turned to start the engine, while also securing the lock cylinder within the steering column. Over time, the ignition barrel and housing can wear out due to repeated use, leading to issues with starting the vehicle or key operation.

This part is compatible with selected models from Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen. It is important to check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to confirm correct fitment before ordering. Common applications include various models such as the Audi A4, A6, A8, TT, and Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Polo, Transporter, and Sharan, as well as certain Seat models.

Typical symptoms of a faulty ignition barrel or housing include difficulty turning the key, key getting stuck or not returning to the correct position, intermittent electrical faults, or the vehicle failing to start. In some cases, you might notice increased play or looseness in the key mechanism or find that the steering lock function is unreliable.

Replacing a worn ignition barrel and housing is essential for restoring proper ignition function and ensuring your vehicle starts reliably. If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is recommended to inspect and replace this part to prevent complete ignition failure or being stranded.
