Non starting GTi

P

My GTi is playing up :( i seem to have an issue between the key and the starter but not sure what, it always seemed to start fine when hot but starting from cold there was usually a second or 2 pause between turning the key and it starting, now i get nothing when i turn the key, the ignition lights stay on, the fan and clock goes off when i try to start, ive had 2 good batterys on it and fitted a new starter as i was sure the starter was gone but still the same prob, any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou
 
Ive managed to trace this to a faulty ignition switch or barrel it seems, ive bypassed the barrel join the right wires and got it turning over so seems i need to replace the barrel, any ideas how id go about this with the nats and the chip in the key?? only other thing i thought as a cheap fix would be a push button starter kit.
 
this bbarrel on the back have electronic board might loose little bit check that fyrst and when you start engine move right left key in ignition
 
I wouldn't even go there with a cheap push button.
i had one on my gti from previous owner with the same problem as you have.
It caused no end of grief constant blown fuses tail light's pissed me right off!!! it turned out not to be the barrel at fault but the ignition switch bottom of the barrel at fault. Change that and be champion
