Called down to my local scrappy saturday and found a really solid mk3 bonus, robbed of all i could on the day. Thing is i've got the tailgate off it with the keys, but want to get the full lock set out, how do you remove the ignition key barrel. I've been told you just turn it to first position and then with a small screwdriver just push up a retaing clip and it just slides out... is that right??? i wanna call down on my work break and get the rest if poss + whatever else i can salvage. Cheers

 

on the s1/mk3 there is a little grub screw at the back of the ignition assembly, facing backwards, u gotta cut a little groove in it n undo it, the whole lot will slide off then... on an s2/mk4, it just taps off with a hammer, i think....

 

thanks mate, is this for the whole steering lock assembly as well or just the ignition key lock??? only wanting the lock set - i.e boot, both doors, fuel cap and ignition key lock.

 

thatll get the whole lot off, be easier i wouldve thought, probably quite a bit of pissing around just to get teh barrel, not sure, never tried it!!
