Cheap Fix for Passat B6 Steering lock problem with non dealer recode

[RichardSEL]

Not the whole steering column. Unless it's by a dealer trying to big up the job to take more money from the customer than necessary.
Of course, that is very, very rare

Thanks for very good informasjon about this problem, in my case i think the problem maybe was solved with the plastic pice on the black lever, i altso sprayed a litle bit 5-56 (electric connection spray). Now it working fine. ☺

Hi,
Are you sure about the article number for the Marquadt switch (1055.0351)?
When I opend my steering lock black box i found a switch with soldering pins instead of soldering ears as the 1055.0351 has.
My switch looks like the ones sold on Ebay in the repair kits.
