Hello,

 

My 1998 Felicia 1.6 Glxi has an Ignition Problem. Key wouldn't turn was told by The AA that I needed a new Ignition Barrel. I had a mechanic look at it, he reckons it's the Ignition swiitch. Was just wondering if we replace the ignition switch with a new switch will I still be able to use my existing keys? Or will I have to get new keys cut? There are plenty of ignition switches available on eBay. The Skoda Part No is 6U0905851B. Parts on eBay are spurious but this seller says Ignition Switch is "Universal Type". 

 

I would be grateful if anyone could advise regarding being able to use my original keys if ignition switch is changed. Switch seems to apply to different Skoda models from late 1980's to late 90's. Thanks.Here is a link to part on eBay.

it will come with new keys 
you will just have one key for the door etc
and one for ignition
you will only need to place the immobilizer chip in the new key 

Thanks for your message, but the Ignition Switch on eBay does not come with new keys, just switch only. I am waiting for an answer from the seller about new keys or not for the ignition switch.

I am not making assumptions. I am stating facts as I've expirienced them.

Ask eBay seller what he means by "Universal Type" switch.
