You could try spraying the ignitio and key with a Tiny bit of WD40, see if this loosens it. Then have another key made and make sure that the key makers grind it smoothe.

SOURCE: how to get key out that is stuck in ignition

Remove steering column shroud(cover)and tap ignition barrel with small hammer while twisting key backwards and forwards,also turn steering wheel backwards and forwards sometimes this is enough to release key as the locking pins in barrel and the steering lock pin do sometimes jam.You will have to remove steering column shroud to replace ignition barrel if tapping/hitting it doesnt work anyway so its not a wasted effort.Good luck,let me know how it works out

SOURCE: Key stuck in ignition of 1976 chevy corvette stingray 350 auto

If I understand, the key will not rotate to all of the normal positions? If this is true, then I would guess that the trani didn't fully return to the park position please verify, You can check the ignition switch(the one that is half way down the steering column) for defects. Is there any binding, does the rotate freely? Thank you; good luck.

SOURCE: my car key is stuck in the driver's side door (VW new Beetle).

I assume you have tried juggling and turn ing the key and pulling all at once>>> Type in the security code for the auto locks on the driver door panel it should release the security device in the lock that holds on to fradulent keys (some models have this some dont) if this doesnt work , try unlocing and locking the door using the controls in the car and pulling on the key to try and remove, if the key wont trun any directions remove door panel locate the locking mechinism and use a flat head screw drivce to turn the lil dial o nthe back side to and try to remove the key.. If none of these work, pull really hard straight back dont bend key on lock as it will break off!! becarefull and goold luck.....
hope this will fix'ya

The problem is in the tumbler(s) inside the assembly. Before you do anything, try penetrating oil to see if that works... otherwise, the entire assembly will need to be replaced.

How to remove alternator on 2011 vw routan

Hi,

Please work with a local mobile mechanic and this requires a special expertise and procedures that are not usually revealed in basic car manuals. You might also request a barter exchange via a classified ads website where you trade services with a mechanic who you can watch and learn from in terms of removing your car's alternator.

Thank you.

For our 2011 VW PASSAT I'm getting the key fob a replacement due to the little Leadlight continuously flashing and is not functioning as per normal... Please help

Hi,

Please double check that you're purchasing the key fob from either VW or a different brand than the one that gave you the error. I'm guessing the brand that you have is making defective key fobs otherwise, the new fob should have worked.

Thank you.

VW Routan, 2011 - Why does it continue to turn over and over when trying to crank and then sometimes stall in traffic?

First off, have the vehicles computer scanned for any pending trouble codes that may point you in the right direction, especially if the check engine light is on or has been on. If no light ever on, the computer can still store a soft code that will not turn light on but yet store a code in it's history.If the engine cranks over and over in the morning you may have a possible fuel pump issue and the fuel pressure is draining back into the tank overnight. This will cause an extended crank in the morning till the fuel pressure builds up enough to start the engine. You can turn the key on and off a couple of times without starting in the morning to see if this helps. Doing this primes the fuel pump thus supplying pressure quicker.If this seems to correct the problem, you may be in need of a fuel pump in the near future.

Key won't come out of ignition on 1999 vw jetta

IGNITION KEY WILL NOT RELEASE

It can be faulty ignition lock cylinder. I suggest to wiggle the steering wheel a bit and see if the key gets released out. If that is not helping then first turn steering wheel to right and try removing the key, or next turn steering wheel to left and see if you can remove the key.

----------

Spray wd-40 in the ignition key hole and let it remain there for few minutes, after that once again try to remove the key and see if that helps.

---------

But if that is not helping then ignition lock cylinder has to be removed out and key has to be manually removed.
