Product Description
This brand new Arrowhead ignition barrel and housing is designed for reliable starting and secure ignition control in select Seat and Volkswagen vehicles. The ignition barrel is a central part of your vehicle's starting system, allowing you to turn the key to power up the electrical circuits and start the engine. Its robust construction features a metal housing with a secure mounting bracket and an integrated electrical connector for dependable operation.
This ignition barrel and housing is compatible with various Seat and Volkswagen models. It is especially relevant for models such as the VW Polo 6R (2009-2022) and certain T5 2.0 TDI and BiTDI models (2009-2015). However, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Common symptoms of a faulty ignition barrel include difficulty turning the key, intermittent starting issues, key getting stuck, loss of electrical power when the key is turned, or the engine not cranking at all. You might also notice the key spinning freely or failing to return to the correct position after starting.
If you experience any of these issues, replacing the ignition barrel and housing is essential to restore proper starting function and prevent potential immobiliser or electrical faults. Always use the correct replacement part for your vehicle and consider professional installation if you are unsure about the process.
