2006 Jetta: Drivers door lock stopped, dealer replaced actuator, 1 week later, same problem. Dealer looked and found ''loose wire'', said now good to go. Now door has same problem and with lock not working key will not go into ignition. Cannot crank and drive car. Are these related?
I had the problem with key not going into the ignition on 2005.5 Jetta had to have the car towed and ignition replaced which cost 375$. But what i read afterwards is there is a locking mechanism in the ignition it is a white thing that slides so you cant get your key in this can be moved with a a small aharp object ant you can then get your key in!!!
I had the same problen with my 2006 jetta. My husband put a small amount of oil in to loosen up a little white piece, inserted the key and gave it a gentle tap. The key went in and we have not had any further problems!
Yes had same problem..poked ignition and broke little white pieces of something and was able to drive home..
We had the same problem with a 2006 Volkswagon Jetta. Key would not go into the ignition. Left me stranded in a grocery parking lot. Husband used advice to pick away at the white slide in ignition. IT WORKS. Thank you so much.
SOURCE: key will not go into ignition, drivers door lock stopped working
I have solved the problem with the help of others who post earlier comments who had a similar problem. I read that the tang at the entrance of the tumbler sleeve that receives the key is plastic and that by using a small sturdy screw driver you can bend the tang in. I was then able to insert the key. I plan on having a new tumbler sleeve installed in the near future.

I had the same problem with the unable to insert ignition key. and he is absolutely correct. remove the white tang that blocks key entry and be careful bits don't enter the key-way. cheers
Original chip key won't work, dealer changed battery, shows power but will not activate car door. Dealer cannot reprogram chip key, what would cause this?
