Lindsay71208 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi there I have an Audi A3 tdi 04 plate and today the ignition cylinder barrel seems to have given up. My key will not turn the car on, I have taken the car to the garage, however it is now shut so need to wait until Monday to see if they can fix and obtain a quote, however I was hoping that someone might be able to give me some advise, when I change the cylinder barrel will I have to also replace my keys too? I would really appreciate any advise thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleencooper Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Locksmith are sometimes a better solution as compared to the dealer. I also lost key when i was in stockton and there i called 24 hr locksmith stockton for help. I have found them on directory and they worked well , charged $50 for the duplicate key.

johnadver Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 That's why i called 24 hour locksmith service near for key duplication. They have charged $80 for key duplication with no late night charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Lindsay I am not sure what fault you are describing. Are you saying the key won't enter the barrel, won't turn once entered, or won't operate the switch once entered and turned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorhart Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The problem must be in the barrel not in the key, it's happened to me also once and i have taken locksmith reston va to fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
