    Default audi a3 (2004) battery dead, physical key not working – 13-09-2016,06:41 AM
    Hi, everyone. I searched already through the forum without success, so maybe some of you can help on this.
    Right now, I cannot enter my car in any way. The battery is dead and apparently the only physical key of the car (drivers seat) is stuck as it doesn't rotate at all.
    What can I do, apart of course from breaking a window...
    Any help you may give is fully appreciated, as I am pretty desperate.
    Cheers

    Spray lots of penetrating oil into the barrel and manipulate gently
