I have an Old iveco . Didn't match anything but your tech persevered and manually cut me a new key . 4 hours of sweating and head scratching ( very impressed)

I had ongoing issues with my ML350 intermittent starting. Came across these guys on the net. Called them at 3.30pm car fixed at 7pm. These guys are really professional and really do over achieve. Can't praise them enough. Carl

The service could not be faulted and exceeded expectations. I would certainly use it again, but hopefully it won't be necessary! A very satisfied customer. The engineer could not have been more helpful or likeable.

Mrs Fiona Scot Roberts
I lost my volvo keys and it seemed that the only way of replacing them was going to a Volvo dealership. Not only did I have to pay to get the car towed there since it was locked but they had to order the parts then install them and that meant waiting a week and spending around a ÂŁ1000...Car key solutions offered me an appointment within hours and after an hour with a computer, they gave me two new keys which seem to work immaculately. Cost was ÂŁ700. Pricey by way faster and cheaper than vovlvo

Engineer turned up early - i was not home, but he happily waited until i got there without any fuss. Due to an issue with the car, he couldn't get the remote key to work which bothered him more than me! A good experience and reasonable price considering it is a mobile service.

Mercedes Sprinter Steering Lock Fix

Does your Mercedes Sprinter suffer from the following issues?

  • not starting
  • when inserting the key in the ignition switch, it can’t be turned
  • when attempting to turn the ignition on you hear a clicking noise but still can’t turn the key
  • it takes several tries before you can turn the key and have the ignition on
  • the steering wheel is stuck in lock position
  • central locking is not operating from the remote

 

Models affected: Mercedes Sprinter W906 M.Y. 2006-2013

Common issues: steering column lock faulty or faulty key

As the key and electronic steering column lock are parts operating on every cycle of ignition they will wear out and eventually fail.

What is a steering column lock and how does it work?

Modern vehicles are fitted with an electronic steering lock module which is an anti-theft device. It is fitted along the steering column usually about midway of it. The lock module is controlled by the electronic ignition switch. When the ignition switch module receives the correct identification signal from the key it sends a signal to the electronic lock to unlock the column.

Inside, the lock is engaged and disengaged by a mechanism operated by a tiny electric motor which is part of it. The steering column lock unit is personalised to the vehicle by programming and it can only be done once.

The very first columns locks were completely mechanic operated. General Motors introduced them on many of its products in 1969 drastically reducing thefts of these GM models, and on Ford, Chrysler, and AMC products in 1970
