Default Picked up a new ignition switch today

My ignition switch has been broken for almost 2 years now, it rarely fully returns to the "on" position. So when I start the car....I turn it back 1/8" or so. Not a big deal, but when I valet my car.....it always comes back with no headlights on because the load reduction relay does not pick up until the key is fully returned.

I did not know if it was the key section or the switch section, but QCRAZY on the A6 forum set me straight yesterday with a picture of a bad one....went to the dealer today and got a new one for $33 with tax! I didn't know they had parts so cheap!

I get to take my steering wheel off again....anybody have some vice grips so I can drive it around?

Default That $33 must have been a mistake. Disconnect the phone,

they will be calling for another $300.
