yeah mine crapped out a while ago. bought a new ignition switch for like $12 and put it in. I'm gonna try to see if a mechanic will write me up a fake recipt so I can get some money out of audi for it.

 

Hey just wanted to let you guys who replaced your ignition switches yourselves, Audi charges $180 to do it. So I wrote up a phony invoice from an auto repair shop, and sent it in along with my recall notice to audi for the reimbursement check. Dont know if it will work but worth a try for $180, considering I spent $18 on the part.

 

basically it wouldn't get past me because all checks are checked plus much more information ( a check doesnt pay for the work ) the account does

 

I dont get it???

 

my car is a 96 2.8 quattro, i def have the problem, but the stealership claims that there is no recall notice out for my vin....**** THE DEALER!!!

 

wow, I just bought my 97 2.8QM on Friday and I thought the ignition was just destroyed by the previous owner. Sometimes it takes a minute or two to put the key in, and when I start it, it stays in the on position and keeps starting. Sounds like a really bad sqeauling belt or something, until I turn it back a notch. Hope I can get this for free, or else Ill be buying a new starter soon!

 

Is anyone still having this problem? I am and just yesterday, I forgot to work the ignition in the rear position, and know the steering wheel is locked. HELP!!!!!

 

try turning the key while putting force on the steering wheel, from side to side. it should unlock itself.
