Ignition Switch & Lock cylinder replacement on a 75-79 Super Beetle | How To 

You are awesome. My 72 was a little different, but you gave me the basics to be able to do the job. On the 72, the center bolt is 27mm, and there are two bolts that hold in the cover for the ignition cylinder. You have to take out the turn signals and the wiper controls to get to the two cover bolts. Your walk through gave me the info to get in and get started. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Solid work on the video. I just did this myself, but I don’t film it lol. All the videos of this exact process before yours were absolutely terrible quality. Glad to see people are still making repair content for aircooled beetles

I want to say this is the BEST video on this job that I have ever seen......... Thank you so much for you time to document and GREAT job with all. Spot on.

I just had mine replaced less than a year ago😢😢 so I'm going to try it on my own. Thank you!

Thanks for this! My '74 Super didn't have the two screws to remove the cylinder housing as shown in most other videos. Your procedure was right on for me car.

Great step-by-step video. I followed along with y'all and my '74 fired right up.

Thank you. Needed a refresher before hand. Well done 👍

Excellent, thank you! Well presented

Good job. I hope you reconnected the hoses to the two long plastic hose fittings on the windshield wiper switch assembly for activating the windshield washer jets. I forgot to do that the first time I changed an ignition switch on a 1975 Porsche 914 (which uses the same wiper and ignition switches as your Beetle).

Thank you!

thank you

My housing of my lock looks exactly the same but there is no pinhole. How can I push the spring and release the lock? Any suggestions?

➡ I would not remember how to put things back together ! 😥

Mine has no pin to remove the cylinder

Maybe someone tried to steal yer car🤔?
