ATRACYPART Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder for VW Jetta & Golf (2004–2018) — 2 Keys, Zinc Alloy

If your Volkswagen shows signs of key slippage, difficulty turning, or intermittent starting, this direct-fit ignition lock cylinder from ATRACYPART is made to restore reliable ignition function. The assembly is precision-machined from corrosion-resistant zinc alloy and heat-treated steel to handle repeated use and road vibration while matching the original equipment interfaces and mounting points for an easy swap.

Which VW models and years will this ignition cylinder fit?

How are the keys and transponder chips handled?

The kit comes with two keys that include 48-chip 433 MHz blanks and two remote key shells. You have two practical options depending on your situation and experience with vehicle security systems.

• Reuse your existing transponder chip: remove and insert your original chip into the new key — no programming required when the original chip is retained.
• Use included blank 48-chip 433 MHz transponders: professional encoding by a locksmith or VW service is recommended for security and proper immobilizer recognition.
• Remote shells are included without batteries or pre-installed electronics; they allow swapping your original remote internals if applicable.

What materials and build quality can I expect?

ATRACYPART designs this lock cylinder for longevity in daily driving conditions. Components are chosen for wear resistance and consistent electrical contact at the ignition switch interface.

• Corrosion-resistant zinc alloy housing for environmental durability.
• Heat-treated steel internal components to resist wear from repeated key cycles.
• Precision machining for smooth key rotation and reliable engagement.

How easy is installation and what should I prepare for?

While the cylinder is a direct-fit replacement for the listed OE part numbers, installation involves disassembling the steering column and working with the vehicle’s immobilizer system. Non-professionals without technical support are advised not to purchase.

• Prepare basic steering-column tools and service manual guidance for your model year.
• If using blanks, plan a visit to a locksmith or authorized VW shop for transponder encoding.
• Keep your original key or proof-of-ownership on hand when seeking professional programming services.

Who this is for: This ignition lock cylinder kit suits Volkswagen owners and independent mechanics who need a cost-effective, direct-replacement solution for worn or failing ignition barrels on compatible Jetta, Golf, EOS, Rabbit, and Tiguan models. It’s ideal for buyers who can either reuse an existing transponder chip or arrange professional encoding of the included 48-chip 433 MHz blanks. ATRACYPART backs the product with a 12-month warranty and customer support should any issues arise.
