What is the reason why the Volkswagen key cannot be turned?

[JaylaMarie]

Volkswagen key cannot be turned for the following reasons: Steering wheel lock jammed: The situation where the key cannot be turned is caused by the steering wheel lock being jammed. Use your right hand to slightly force the key while simultaneously rocking the steering wheel left and right with your left hand. By coordinating these actions, the steering wheel lock will be released, and the key can then be turned. Excessive key wear: If the steering wheel lock jam is ruled out, the only remaining reason is excessive key wear, which prevents the key teeth from lifting the valve body inside the lock cylinder, making it impossible to turn. This issue can only be resolved by using a spare key. Once the spare key works properly, you should promptly visit a key duplication service to have a new, functional key matched.
