Default Replacing Ignition switch 2003 A6 - ?computer reset?
I have read several threads about this but no-one who has DIY posted wether or not they had to 'reset' the computer so the new switch would work.


Does any one know if I need to recode my Key if I swap the ignition switch?

Thanks

Mike

Not 100% sure, but I believe you do need to do that. Georgeb944 would know.

No need to reset the ECU. Just remember to disconnect the battery before working on the switch.
