Replace ingnition switch on a 1995 vw passat ?

JUST CHECK FUSES FIRST.IF ALL OK REPLACE THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL.....

Hi. I am not sure of the exact workshop flat rate time, but the subframe needs to be lowered. I think 3 hrs is a fair time to do this repair. A wheel alignment would be needed as extra.

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the steering wheel, and then remove the steering column covers. Remove the turn signal and wiper switches. Disconnect the ignition switch wiring. Remove the clamping washer, spring and contact ring from the steering column, and then remove the lock housing up off the column tube and steering column. Remove the ignition switch mounting fastener and remove the switch. Installation is in reverse order of removal noting the following: Press the contact ring, spring and clamping washer onto the steering column using a properly sized and sturdy metal pipe or tube. If after installation of the clamping washer, the steering column is not projecting out far enough, pull the steering column out further.

Well you will need a steering wheel puller. you can get one at the local auto store which should have a loan-a-tool program. I hope this helps please rate this and thank you

Hard, yes you have to remove the steering wheel. You'll have to remove the airbag to get the steering wheel off. If you ever do anything w/ an air bag, disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes beforehand.

your probably going to have to remove the steering wheel to replace it

Since you have already tried the obvious look to make sure that the new switch is properly engaging when you move the pedal. Most of these switches have some adjustment in their placement. Otherwise search through the wire harness and tape up ANY cracks or breaks in the plastic coating. Also look at all the connectors for green corrosion. If you find or suspect corrosion replace the connector. VW''s are picky when it comes to corrosion and breaks in wire insulation. Hope this helps.

take off the steering wheel, remove the plastic piece on the steering column and then the ignition should unbolt and slide off.

vw golf flasher and signal relay are built into the the hazard switch might be the same on the passat try that m8 ??
