Ignition Key

Post by ianinnes »

Newbie to Corsas!
Both keys for a 1999 1.2 16V corsa are sticking slightly as we pull them out of the ignition barrel, which suggests a fault with the barrel rather than the keys themselves.
Is it easy enough to change the barrel and will I need these keycodes that I read about.
Illustrated instruction site would help me.

could be both your keys are bent, or it could be that the barrel is knackerd
you will need somthing like: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-TIGRA-A% ... 07fff9537e to replace it
as for the keycode, you should just be able to remove the transponder chip from your old key and fit it in to your new key

hope this helps
