Good afternoon all,
I am hoping someone can point out what I am doing wrong regarding removal of an ignition barrel.
My 99(T) 996 Cabriolet has been suffering from intermittent starting issues. I have read a lot about ignition switch problems (I had changed a few years back), yet the issue has returned.
Basically, key in, turn to start and nothing. Try again and again, nothing (except airbag and roll over warnings lights come on for a few seconds). Then it will start.
I am considering changing the switch again, but I want to eliminate a worn barrel/steering lock interface, as when I out the key in there is a lot of slack when turning the key. I can move the key at least 10-15 degrees without it moving to stage 1.
I have tried to remove the barrel as per all the instructions online, and no joy.
I have turned the key and got a slim Allen key in as far as possible and it will not come out.
What am I doing wrong? Anyone get a video of removal?
