« on: January 14, 2011, 09:07:19 pm »
lol..funny how all these issues coime out in the cold.....93 jetta aaz

my ignition seems to like sticking as of late....i can put the key in and the radio turns on etc..but it wont turn without a bit (sometimes more sometimes less) of fidgeting witth the key or the sterring wheel to get it to "break" loose and allow me to start the car.........seems to majorly do it when the car is cold......and i do mean cold:)

anyone?

cheers

Paul

If you find it is only happening when cold, then maybe it is just the wafers in the ignition lock getting a little sticky.

If this is the case I suggest getting a small bottle of aerosol graphite lubricant and hitting all your locks with it.

Don't think oh I've got some wd-40 laying around ill use that instead.. I used to lockmsith and it is the worst thing you can put in to a lock aside from sand really... ;)

See if that helps you out any man! Goodluck
