Hi, I'm a new mk5 owner and I'm having some issues, the car has been off the road for 2 years and was in need of some real tlc, when I purchased it it started no problem, now it just cuts out, it wont hold a start, my thinking is its the ignition barrel, has anyone else had this problem, if so where the hell can I get a new barrel

any info is much appreciated!

so it turns over but as soon as you let go of the key it cuts out?

Isn't this the one they had the recall for? It's the switch on the back of the ignition barrel?

It connects to back of barrel. Only the tip of key goes into it.

hmmm I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure if the guy was right or not, its a mk5 1999 reg, I gave him my reg and he said it don't fit

, but if you have one that would be great!
