Title: No key and steering locked
Post by: Rossg on March 02, 2025, 04:22:58 AM
Hi all,

Unfortunately, the previous owner does not have the key to my graveyard find and the steering is locked. 1987 Golf GTI.

I will be moving house shortly and it is going to be very difficult to manoeuvre the car on/off the tow truck and into the correct position on my driveway with the steering locked.

Does anyone have any idea how I can source a new key for the car or release the steering lock without the key so that I can at least turn the wheels for now.

Thankyou in advance!

Ross.

Hi its possible to remove the ignition assembly which houses the steering lock. The lock is held in place with a shear held bolt but they are not always sheared.
