Ignition issue June 01, 2020, 02:19:42 PM Recently i've had a situation when starting the GTi where the key turns too far in the ignition & doesnt click back into the 1st position, resulting in the starter motor continuing to run after the engine has actually started. It needs a manual turn back every time.Before i go buying parts, Is this likely to be a switch or barrel problem?Thanks in advance

Re: Ignition issue Reply #2 – June 01, 2020, 09:58:07 PM I’d say barrel more likely than switch. Could try some maintenance spray into the barrel And see if that helps.Is it original, how worn lose is the key?
Re: Ignition issue Reply #3 – June 01, 2020, 10:52:28 PM I would say its the original judging by the key, which is pretty worn too.
