IG KEY STUCK

[fonaspin]

Hi,

Unable to remove ignition key when parked in my Superb Greenline 1.9TDI manual of late....what can I do to remedy myself.? Is it a big money issue to fix?

All good advice welcome,

Maybe obvious, but have you tried either gently turning the steering wheel back and forth to see if the lock is being held against force, or gently push the key a bit and try to remove it. Strange to happen on a manual, if it was an auto the answer would be more obvious.

Hi,

Auto spark tells me I need a new ignition barrel and that will involve AFAIK, a new reprogramed key.....

Anyone know what this will cost.....supposedly must be carried out by official dealership?

UPDATE: FYI........If this happens to you, you will need to order the barrel part from a skoda dealer ...bring logbook and photoid....it takes upto 5weeks....then have a good backstreet skoda mechanic fit it.
