I've replaced the switch before on my 85 and while I don't remember having to drill any holes, Mike is correct. The key cylinder and the electrical switch are 2 separate parts. Like every other procedure, follow the Bentley and you'll be fine.

Depending on what part is bad you've got to decide where to go from there.You can replace the switch and leave the tumblers in and will be okay if the tumblers aren't screwed. Good luck Mike 89gti 16v 89jetta 8v 89golf gl 00 jeep wr. 4.0 sport _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
