    Volkswagen Amarok 2012 FAQs

    Volkswagen Amarok 2012: Key doesn't fit ignition barrel

    That’s usually a result of using the wrong key, or of wear of the key or the lock barrel. As your car is relatively new it shouldn’t be wear, but I would suspect that the key is not mating perfectly with the lock barrel. I would approach VW for a solution, perhaps a new lock and keys.

    Volkswagen Amarok 2012: Worn key can't start it

    The lock barrel spinning is usually a sign of the key being worn. When it happens remove the key and insert it again, or use the spare key, which presumably won't be worn.

    Volkswagen Amarok 2012: Auxiliary belt problem causing engine failures?

    This is just another example of VW dodging a problem they know exists. Yours is not the only Amarok to suffer this problem, other owners have experienced the same thing. The auxiliary belt fails due to dirt and dust and bits of the belt find their way into the timing belt and cause tat to fail or jump teeth. The end result is often a destroyed engine, as has happened to your car. It's poor design, inadequate testing, and questionable ethics on VW's part having discovered the problem. Even though the warranty has expired on your car VW is still responsible through the statutory laws around consumer protection. The car as it was sold to you is clearly not fit for purpose, it has a design flaw that led to the failure of the engine. Do not take VW's denial of responsibility as the end of the matter; they are only trying to fob you off. Go straight to the top of VW Australia and contact the company's boss, John White directly.
