Hey all
An update.
So, turns out the lock I ordered from busdepot was faulty. But they happily
sent me a replacement (thanks!)
This one turns freely, but I still appear to be having trouble. It seems
like it's the housing. I spoke to steveslockshop, he's unsure, as he
doesn't deal with the housing. I also spoke to a vw shop and the guy said
it sounds like the steering wheel column lock thingy inside the housing is
stuck, or jammed.
The tab (in the housing, where the steering column slides on) seems to move
freely in and out.
When I place the lock cylinder into the housing, it no longer turns.
I'm so frustrated by this project. Please help!!
Thanks
Laura
