VW ignition lock 'ring' disassemble

[p1et]

Hello

Can somebody help me what exactly should I do to remove that ring which prevents access to the tumblers? Do I need to drill a hole somewhere or cut with a dremel? Any help appreciate.

Tere is a springy ring on the lock's face under the cap what holds this cap on the ignition.
I use a 2,5mm milling head to make a hole on it and gently pull the cap while pushing the ring back with a small screwdriver.

Can you elaborate a bit more please, have you got any diagram ?

Big thanks, I actually did 2 holes to push the spring ring because with only 1 it still didn't fall completely into the groove. I heard before that this material is too hard for drilling (that's why I was asking here) but I did it without problems because of your help. Appreciate, cheers :)

Ok I will post here later picture of unassembled different ignition and mark where I was drilling but actually you can do it on almost whole lenght of the metal ring. I did alongside the VW logo on ignition. I will make picture and reply here later, cheers.

My english is not so perfect, so i will show it for you with pictures later.
I will make picture with immo ring too, it is the same but you need to be very careful with it and mill down from the top of the ring to the spring, because if you drill from the side you will destroy the immo coil.

Very nice mate, I'm interested now where to drill antenna. I can make picture of my work tomorrow because don't have such ignition lock at the moment (web pictures are poor quality) and will have tomorrow because I ordered in case I need a new one.

Not exactly as on the picture above but you can see actually where to mill(with Dremel) :). The important thing is both gaps being against each other. For locks with antena coil on it (Golf 4 for example) material is much softer and you can drill a holes(not milling).
