Review on Beck Arnley 201 1721 Ignition Switch by Jason Cho

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality German switch for Mk3 Jetta!

When my friend and I picked up his 'brand new' 1998 Jetta TDI (with moon travel on the clock.), we were horrified to find that he regularly has starting problems. The starter was replaced to no avail and we slowly learned that it was a horribly cracked starter switch. a whole day of routine work. There are many difficult ways to get to the switch, including steering wheel pullers and removing parts around the airbag. Not the easiest way. Other people have cut out the wiring harnesses and added various clever switches. Ugly fix, kills the neutral safety switch (unsafe) and demotes the car. The correct method includes . Pulled the whole column, wheel and all. A few bolts and screws later and the new Beck Arnley derailleur was in place. It only took an hour and the switch fit like a glove! Thanks for this old post, find it and only it if you have a Jetta Mk3 that won't start when you turn the key! Search: Forum VWvortex, Qbalance156, DIY ignition switch with photo. Revain is a great place to buy auto parts for foreign cars. The price would have been several times higher than in NAPA, and with Prime it came in two days.

Pros
  • Switches and Relays
Cons
  • I don't have a huge aversion to it, everything is fine
