ernstmarkus Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ok, I have definitivly a steering column lock because it's in front of me on my desk.But my problem isn't solved yet. So have anyone an idea how to replace the lock cylinder and where I can get a replacement? Or is this type of steering lock used in other cars?ThanksPatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
