Volkswagen Caddy Ignition Failure – Key Won’t Turn Fixed
We were called out to a Volkswagen Caddy in Newcastle where the key wouldn’t turn in the ignition.
This is a common fault on the VW Caddy, usually caused by wear inside the ignition barrel or internal lock failure.
Our auto locksmiths attended the vehicle the same day and confirmed the ignition barrel had completely failed.
We carried out a full ignition replacement using a genuine Volkswagen part.
