Removing, repairing and refitting a broken door lock cylinder on a Volkswagen Polo Mk4 9N. If the key doesn't turn at all or it just keeps rotating without opening the door lock, then one or more of the internal parts of your lock cylinder are probably damaged or broken. This repair process is similar in many other VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat cars from certain years. Check with your car’s manufacturer to be sure. The cam inside the barrel is the part that usually breaks. I carried out the repair with the cylinder in my hands but it would probably be easier clamped in a vice, if you have access to one. You can buy a repair kit online for a few euros/dollars. I would advise keeping your locks lubricated to prevent them from breaking in the first place. Thanks for watching.
