3. Cut Wire or Wires: With the Key IN the ignition yet ignition OFF: On J518 is a 20 pin connector; cut Pin 19 (black/red). Please double check its location as there are 2# black/red wires. I took the connector block out and a part of its housing to be sure. I cut the wire high enough up the cable to allow re-connection.
3a. Pin 19 - May not work. If so, then on the larger 3 Pin Power connector cut the black/red cable. I cut high enough up the cable to allow re-connection.
Solution 3. Worked for me. The steering column does not lock after performing 3. / 3a.
Final thought: VW Passet also has a J518 which you can buy as a unit. Please look at this as a possible solution (save the cost of a new column). You will need a garage to code the new J518 to your car. I did not look at this further.
Best of luck.
For those who live in remote and or cold / very hot locations, I advise buying a portable VAG Com unit or perform the solutions above. Being stranded at night in the freezing cold … etc…
