Key feeling a bit "crunchy"? Don't let your steering lock go on strike!

If your ignition feels like you’re trying to stir a bucket of gravel with a spoon, your steering lock housing is probably cooked. This 6R0905851D Aluminum Base is the exact replacement you need to get your daily driver back on the road without having to bribe a tow truck driver.

This is the solid aluminum base unit—tough enough to survive a Canberra winter and built to OEM specs so it won't throw a wobbly during installation. It’s a common fix for Polos and Beetles where the internal mechanism has decided it’s had enough of "city driving."

⚠️ THE "LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP" RULE:

VAG parts are notorious for looking the same but being just different enough to ruin your afternoon. Check the images carefully! Compare the plug socket and the mounting points on our photos to your old unit. If it doesn't look like a mirror image, don't risk it—send us a photo of yours first!

Compatible Models:

• Volkswagen: Polo (including 1.4T), Beetle, Lavida, Bora.
• Audi: A4, A6.

What's in the box:

• 1 x Ignition Steering Lock Aluminum Base (6R0905851D)

Note: This is the housing base only. You'll need to swap over your existing lock barrel and switch gear, which means no messy recoding or new keys to worry about. Just a straight-up swap for the broken metal bits!
