This should be used as reference material only. Inspect your parts to make sure they match. The information out there is sparse and the parts books leave a lot to be desired. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ignition/Steering Lock ID Let's start with the parts descriptions. Between the parts and repair manuals, it seems VW could not make up their minds on what to call these parts. So I am using the parts manual descriptions. The following parts can be found by them self's or in a number of combinations. 1. Ignition/Steering Lock Housing 2. Steering Lock 3. Ignition Starter Switch 4. Lock Cylinder with keys ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IGNITION/STEERING LOCK HOUSING (steering column) I was unable to locate part numbers for these. Note: the later housing came with either one or two set screws to hold the steering lock in place. 1975-79 Steering lock housing with plastic cover. Note the half round and square ends on the white ignition switch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEERING LOCK (ignition barrel) 1968-69 Steering lock 211 905 889 - Non-locking Intermediate housing: note square portion that changes to round, this has no lock pin to engage in the steering shaft. 1968-69 Steering lock 211 905 887 - Note: square portion that changes to round with lock pin protruding from the end of it. 1970 only Steering lock 211 905 887 A - Note: door buzzer wire connection, tapered cylinder with lock pin. 1971 Steering lock 211 905 859 B No Pic? 1971-?

Every Type IV engine owner should know this!!! If you over tighten the Oil Strainer bolt, you will brake the engine case! There is a Oil strainer in there. TORQUE THE STRAINER BOLT TO NO MORE THAN 9 FT. LBS. Here is a little information. Good Luck Pictures would be cool.

RixiesRide Sat Feb 24, 2018 12:34 pm Can someone please verify what year(s) this goes to? I was told it came out of a '71 bus. Looking at the above pictures it looks like a '68-69. I do know it won't fit a '73. Thank you! elge_b Wed Apr 06, 2022 9:58 am RixiesRide wrote: Can someone please verify what year(s) this goes to? I was told it came out of a '71 bus.

SGKent Wed Apr 06, 2022 3:57 pm have you checked with Ken Madsen at thebusco to see if he has one? elge_b Wed Apr 06, 2022 4:19 pm I was able to find one. Thank you for the suggestion. nemobuscaptain Wed Apr 06, 2022 6:59 pm This is a great thread. Probably should be a FAQ. Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
