Based on industry averages you can expect to pay between $6.49 and $10.99 for a VW Bus ignition switch.
A VW Bus ignition switch is a component of the electrical system in a Volkswagen Bus (also known as a Type 2 or Transporter). It is responsible for activating the starter motor and allowing the engine to start. The ignition switch controls the flow of electricity from the battery to various electrical components, including the starter solenoid, fuel pump, and ignition coil. By turning the ignition key, the switch completes the circuit and enables the vehicle's engine to be started.
Signs of a Faulty VW Bus Ignition Switch
The most common signs of a faulty VW Bus ignition switch include:
- Difficulty starting the engine: If you have trouble starting your VW Bus, such as needing to turn the key multiple times or experiencing a delay before the engine starts, it could be a sign of a faulty ignition switch.
- Intermittent power loss: A faulty ignition switch may cause intermittent power loss while driving. This can result in the engine stalling or various electrical components, such as lights or radio, suddenly turning off.
- Problems with accessory power: If you notice that certain accessories like the radio, air conditioning, or power windows do not work consistently or only function intermittently, it could be due to a faulty ignition switch.
- Key getting stuck: A faulty ignition switch may cause the key to get stuck in the ignition cylinder, making it difficult or impossible to remove the key after turning off the engine.
- Ignition switch feels loose or wobbly: If the ignition switch feels loose or wobbly when you insert the key, it could indicate a problem with the switch mechanism itself.
- Engine randomly shutting off: A faulty ignition switch can cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly while driving. This sudden loss of power can be dangerous and should be addressed promptly.
- Dashboard warning lights malfunctioning: A faulty ignition switch may cause dashboard warning lights to flicker, remain illuminated when they shouldn't, or fail to light up when there is an issue with the vehicle.
If you notice any of these signs, it's recommended to have your VW Bus inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if the ignition switch needs to be repaired or replaced.
Typical Lifespan of a VW Bus Ignition Switch
The longevity of a VW Bus ignition switch can vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. On average, an ignition switch can last anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 miles or more. However, it is important to note that individual experiences may differ, and regular inspection and servicing of the ignition switch is recommended to ensure proper functionality and extend its lifespan.
