Scirocco Register

A few months ago, I had to steal my own car due to a lost key, since then, I've found the key. I had to damage the steering lock housing, but didn't damage the locks, so now would like to put it all back together with a new housing and the original barrel.

My problem is I'd like to get the barrel out of the housing. I've had a look at the FAQ, but by the looks of it on the car on there the barrel and housing were discarded as a unit, so it doesn't say how to part the two.

I've taken the electrickery off the back, knocked the plate off the side and stripped the steering lock pin and mechanism out, but I can't find how to release the barrel? Does it just tap out from the back, or is it a special tool job?

IIRC you have to drill a hole in the casing to enable you to release a locating device, then it pushes out.
Haynes has a diagram showing where to drill.

Thanks for that. Don't suppose anyone's got their Haynes and a scanner to hand? My book's 100 miles away from me and the car (damn house moves).

There ya' go

Legendary! Many thanks.

Any chance of this being added to the FAQ?
