I bought a vw lock and keys 10$. Even with the top if the key about 1/2" back. Drill a small 1/8" hole and push the spring down with a tiny jeweler screwdriver. The whole key section pops out. Only took off the steering wheel, blinker/wiper handles, and the two covers above and below. Took 15 minutes. Starts and all accessories come on! Nothing worked before as the little push was worn down. Also watch the little spring it sets in the hole in the housing.
