Hi-
The patient is a 1976 that has spent some time sitting and the owner lost the ignition key. Is there a way to make an ignition key from the car's VIN? or is there a way to remove the lock cylinder without wrecking anything so I can have it keyed at a lock shop? Thanks |

A lot of 914s had the ignition locks replaced with VW units. It uses a completely different key that will not fit any other locks on the car.
Original:  Later replacement:  This lock was used on the 924 and all the VW products of that era. The lock mechanism was the same, so it superseded the original lock in the parts catalog. You can find people on here who have the 914 locks used and get it rekeyed to to work with the rest of the locks. |
