    I have an 2008 Audi A4 B8/8K and when I try to push the key fob in the dash it is harder to press than usual, it won't fully enter, and that's because as far as i noticed the pins inside are not releasing and as soon as i start the engine the key comes out very easily, with the engine still running, and i can even stop the engine by pressing inside with anything.
    Also with the engine being off and the key out, the steering wheel isn't locking when I'm turning it.(It's like the car thinks that the key is still in, the pins being locked in position like the car is on)
    Of course that I get Ignition lock defective together with the crossed out key in the dash.
    Is there a way of repairing it, like spraying electronics spray or opening it or manually releasing it ? I tried removing the error with VCDS but it is not doing anything, i really need help with this one.

    (I replaced it, and i'll try to repair the old one)

    The earlier ignition locks were dropping like flies but I don't know if dealers were just replacing them or if Audi modified the part. There were a lot of them replaced under warranty.
