My Mk4 was broken into tonight (head unit, bassbox and amplifier stolen), whoever broke into it completely removed the driver side lock barrel. I need to replace this asap. Can any1 tell me where to get this done. Im located in East London. Thanks.

 I feel for you :( sounds like the famous lock trick, were all the windows down by any chance? there are a few posts going around warning people to delock their cars as there is a big loophole with regards to the MK4 Lock Barrell.

Get on eBay and buy a De-locking kit this will replace the barrel but and make your car secure so it cant happen again.

It's dirt cheap for the kit. I can't remember exactly but less than £20. The only thing is you have to be REALLY carefull when taking your old lock out of the door - don't losen or tighten anything more than is absolutely neccessary. When I did it the lock retaining clip fell out and I had to strip the whole door down to get it back and I just couldn't get it back in place! It cost me loads to get the door fixed again

I got the kit from ebay for about £13 quid which will do two locks, but you can buy all the bits you need from the dealers, if you do a search on here you will find a thread with all the necessary part numbers on. Although the ebay seller did offer a spraying service for the outer barrel to match your car as well

if have a 1.4 you will have to get remote central locking set up first

Or disable the auto windows in Vag-Com.

Sorry to hear this mate - get it delocked ASAP but make sure your boot lock works first, otherwise you'll be smashing a window if your car won't open on the keyfob one day

I have 1 x delock kit (one door as not all Golfs have 2 barrels) in Reflex Silver for sale if you're interested.
