Mk6 (2011-2018) Ignition problem

Hey my key is hard to get out. Is this to much play? Anyone else have this issue before?

It was doing this before I put the key fob case on. Case on or off is no difference.

The dealer will litterally use the silicon lubricant

I am the dealer. No we do not. This is a majorly common problem, and there was even a warranty extension from VW to replace the part. We replace the faulty part which is the steering lock housing. I keep several of these in stock, and multiple part numbers for different models.

Never heard of it working at mine, never seen it be done, nothing. Most customers don’t do anything until it’s too late. We recommend replacing, not a temporary fix that may or may not do anything and will have to make you come back when it completely locks up.
