Product Description

This Arrowhead Ignition Barrel/Housing Set is designed for reliable operation in select VW models, ensuring smooth starting and secure locking of your vehicle's ignition system. The set includes a robust metal ignition barrel housing, ignition barrel, lock cylinder, two matching keys, and a black plastic ignition switch with electrical connector. These components work together to provide consistent performance and a secure interface between your vehicle's ignition and electrical systems.

Fitment is suitable for certain VW Golf, Jetta III, Polo I, and Golf I Velo vehicles. Due to variations across models and years, please confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific VW.

Common symptoms of a failing ignition barrel or switch include difficulty turning the key, intermittent or complete loss of electrical power when starting, key getting stuck or not turning, and the engine failing to crank. Other signs may include dashboard lights not illuminating or accessories not powering up when the key is in position.

Replacement of the ignition barrel and housing set is recommended if you experience any of these issues or if the keys and lock cylinder show signs of excessive wear. Timely replacement helps prevent unexpected vehicle immobilisation and ensures continued security and convenience.
