Just had a recurrence of a warning on the DIS that appeared briefly for my wife a couple of weeks back: "Ignition lock failure". It was displayed for about 30 seconds and went away.

Anyone else seen this and what is it/what was required to fix? Could it be a sensor that doesnt like the cold weather!? I assuming this is something to do with the key, mainly because the symbol that appears (along with the usual DIS chime) is a key with a red cross through it.

I wasn't planning to call Audi now until the New Year...unless it suffers a breakdown of course.

The contacts stick from incorrect operation or operator error.If the fault continues ring the dealer and they will replace or carry out the rework by re positioning the contacts within the ignition slot

Getting the same warning myself. I have about six keys on the fob and wonder if their weight affects .
