Randy;
Before taking my truck to =
be
painted I removed all the handles and trim. While they were out I =
decided
to clean up the tumblers and associated hardware. It turned out to be a =
pretty
simple job and the results were excellent. Basically I shot some WD40 in =
the
lock mechanism to clean out old grease. If I remember correctly I kept the =
key
in the lock so the tumblers would not fall out.
Check the archives, this =
was
discussed less than six months ago. Let me know iif you need help with the=
archives. I have some good instructions around here somewhere.
Good Luck and Drive Safely

Hello.......New member =
here. I
have a 82 Vanagon with 85 Jetta
power......love it! I was glad to =
find
this group. I have a problem with keys
someone out there must know =
the
answer to. Although still going strong after
216k miles, my van's key=
is
worn out. I have to fiddle like a safecracker to
get the doors to =
lock and
unlock. A local locksmith told me I have to take
out all the locks =
and
bring them in for him to fit new keys. I'm not buying
that........=
must be
an easier way. Just copying the old key is no good
because all I get =
is a
copy of a worn out key. Isn't there a code or
something I can use to =
get a
new key made? Thanks for any help.
