Product Description

Restore proper ignition function to your Volkswagen with this Arrowhead Ignition Barrel/Housing, designed specifically for models requiring reliable starting and security. The ignition barrel is a key component in your vehicle's starting system, housing the ignition switch and enabling the engine to start when the key is turned.

This part is compatible with selected Volkswagen models, including various Golf, Jetta III, Polo I, Velo, and Caddy LDV models. Due to variations in model years and engine specifications, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a faulty ignition barrel include difficulty turning the key, key getting stuck, intermittent starting issues, loss of electrical power when turning the key, or the engine not cranking at all. You may also notice excessive play in the key or the ignition switch not returning to the correct position after starting.

If you experience any of these issues, it is advisable to replace the ignition barrel/housing promptly to avoid being stranded or causing further damage to the ignition system. Installation typically requires removal of the steering column covers and careful handling of the ignition assembly.
