Ignition problem
« on: 29 March 2005, 17:03 »
Hey ppl,

I have an ignition problem on my mk3 1.4 golf,

To start the car I have to hold the key very tight pushing with abit of force and as quick as possible turn the key, if not done right it will not turn on .. It causes alot of problems as I never get it right the first couple of times and gets annoying after a while..

Anyone know how I can solve the problem??

Regards

I got mine from http://www.vwandaudi.co.uk/ which is local to me, should be able to mail order it from somewhere though
