Personally I would double check ALL the drains, especially the ones that terminate under the rear wheel arch liners (easy to remove) are very prone to blocking as there is a plastic check

will this cure both symptoms or only the problem with the engine running when key removed ?

Can anyone please shine some light on this issue as other warning lights have started to appear and then re-set themselves .
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Thank you Andy for giving your time to respond to my questions.Will order part for ignition and one problem solved.
Hi all
Having some issues with my 996 c4 convertible facelift 01. Previously had sodden carpet behind drivers seat and this was resolved with the drain holes being cleared by an indy. Recently I have had condensation to the point where the inside of the car notably the front and rear screens is like being inside an artificial rain forest. I noticed that the hood was not sitting correctly and I rectified this by closing the hood slowly and pushing the defective part in to its correct position while in motion, condensation has now gone. Unfortunately another issue has reared its ugly head, I now have condensation on the ignition where you put your key in and only on saturday I went for a drive got home and remove the key and the engine was still running, after several attempts of re-inserting the key did the engine shut off. Can anyone please shine some light on this issue as other warning lights have started to appear and then re-set themselves .
Thanks in advance
Hi Keiran
99% odds on it’s the ignition switch at the base of the ignition lock ass which is a known issue, It’s a bit fiddle but an easy DIY as it says in the links below it’s a Audi part, I can no longer see it online at Euro parts give them a call it’s part No A40 905 849B

Good luck
Could the moisture/condensation cause an issue with the ignition and would it be prudent to address this problem first. If in your opinion one is not connected to the other and just coincidence then I will replace the part suggested.

Next up where would water be getting in to form condensation/ water droplets on ignition barrel.

valve at it's end.
Do a google search (996 cab drains. 996 blocked drains etc) lots of info out there on Pistonheads and Rennlist etc.
good luck
