Hello guys,
I went through lots of forums to find answers for my problem which is issue with key. Whne in ignition its very difficult to turn it. It's not steering lock its actual ignition. I always need to find position while pushing on to the key to actually get it to turn and start the car up.
As I went through other forums I've found that issue will be either ignition switch which is couple of quid or the actual barrel. I did not find though an actual answer to my main question.
If I change switch and it will work then problem sorted. If I'll change barrel and as know that comes with key and lock for door and boot - do I need to get someone to reprogram the key for the car (make sense to me ) or can I get away with pulling out immobiliser chip from old key and putting it in to new key? I never really did this procedure on any of my other cars so I wonder if that would be a way. Obviously there is then a procedure to program key for fobs with holding button etc.... Is someone able to help me out to answer this question before I get started?
Other part of my question is this. My current car is 2003 Audi 1.9TDI sport. My previous one was Skoda Superb 2.5TDi and I still have that car on garden breaking for parts. I haven't looked on to parts number yet but it seems like both Superb and Audi do have same ignition part number 4B0905851 and then letter ( G,F,N,...) I know that this ignition worked fine with no issues. would I be able to - if numbers do match - make a swap and again change immo chip in this case in to Skoda key and use that?
I'm sorry for silly questions. I can do anything from changing a wheel to fixing clutch all on my garden but never really got involved in to electronics unless it's black on black and red on red :)
Thank you all in advance. I'm ready to buy parts from local Audi spare parts shop but if I can use the ones currently sitting on my front yard that would be handy.
