hmm good shout – it’s actually back together again now but that bugged me and by now I should be able to drop it out in a few mins so may have a go. I actually know the clip you mean and drilling a hole and pushing it in would do the job.
I’d thought it twists somehow but didn’t have any joy and didn’t really want to experiment too much cos the only other ignition barrel I have is on my syncro (where all the locks match) and I didn’t want to have to rob it from there.
what about this: http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/data/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2414
Dunno if this helps but I had a thought – I used to get a clunking on the front end of my syncro a while back too – also ended up changing the bearings and several other bits in order to trace it. It turns out it was tired c-clamps on the manifold/downpipe so the exhaust was knocking against the tunnel in corners…
under load and braking it seemed to move around quite a bit…
hmm no i tried that along with mild tapping, twisting etc… looks like I’m going to be left with two keys still… but at least they’ll open all the doors
Ok this is the bit I’m on about – finger pointing at the panel whihc looks like it could be removed, but it might well be a one-way process.
Any ideas?
get some skinny 80 section tyres on it!
I’d be interested to know how long the drivetrain lasts tbh…it would settle a long-standing discussion once and for all.
also – fair play to tay for starting such a vigorous debate lol looks like you’ll fit in fine
I was considerign this but deicded it would be easier to flog my gti and get a bmw for drifting instead…. plus when I smash it up it won’t have wrecked a precious syncro!
