 Replaced it.  The job was fairly easy.  The problem was, it didn't
 solve the problem.  couldn't find the real problem, so I rigged up a
 starter button that works just fine. >>

Too many keys on a key ring is frequently the demise of one's ignition siwtch.
The more keys you have on your VW ring, the heavier the load swinging and
bobbing on the end of a 1.5" lever, with the entrance to your ignition switch
acting as a fulcrum. the electrical portion at the base gets bashed up after a
while.

Reduce your keys and never suffer this fate again.
