Car Forum / Audi Cars / January 2006ignition switch
my low mileage creampuff 1995 model 90 is in shop for its 6th ignition switch. does anyone know anything about this situation? Are these switches from the Audi dealer or aftermarket switches. I recommend the dealer switches since sometimes the aftermarkets are not as well built! BUT sometimes even the dealer stuff will have problems. later, dave (One out of many daves) > my low mileage creampuff 1995 model 90 is in shop for its 6th ignition > switch. > does anyone know anything about this situation?

Yes. This type of switch is VERY sensitive to excessive keyring wieght. Dump all the flashlights, Swiss Army knives, bottle openers, nightsticks. etc. Just keys, two or three at most. |
