Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Was cold today down marina. My key was kinda a bear to turn. Was always kinda �sticky� and not smooth but today was down right nearly frozen. Read about electrical issue and the switch but I�m don�t seeing any of those issues. Can anyone tell me part to order and provide a link to DIY so I can replace part I�m having issue wt? I�d appreciate it. thanks

Yeah it could.. If it doesn't, you might have to replace the whole ignition cylinder. but the switch could fix it. It's worth it to try just the switch first cause it's a lot cheaper and easier. can read about it here: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...ering_Lock.htm edit: the part i linked is for a 2004 btw make sure to get the right one for your specific car

Use the Audi part, from the dealer. Exact same as Porsche at a third the price Step 1: buy a 2 or 3” standard screwdriver bit. Grind it down so it will fit the slot on the ignition. About half. Step 2: put the seat all the way back. Disconnect battery. Step 3: remove vent tube. Easiest to squeeze accordion section. Suggest take a pic so you know how it gets back. step 4: place a flashlight, preferably one of those that are long, under the brake so u can see. step 5: get your head under the dash with your hand up there. Step 6: remove harness from switch. step 7: loosen set screws, knowing they have loctite on them. 2 or 3” bit is perfect. Do not remove set screws. Loosen them until switch comes out. install is reverse. I used the Audi part. first time took me 45 minutes. I can do this now in 15 minutes. I am old (50’s).
