Hey guys,
today, when I locked my 986 the key got stuck in the driver's side lock. Tried to remove it from the lock but without success.
So, after dealing with the service manual, I was able to disassemble the door panel and get to the door lock from the inside.
It seems that something just broke inside the lock cylinder and the key is jammed.
After looking at the parts catalog I could not believe that the lock cylinders are not sold separately!
So, the replacement part number is 996 537 963 02 - support with lock cylinder without stipulated lock number (there are a few variations of this part, for stipulated lock numbers... whatever...)
Here is the price for the replacement part:

At more than 200 bucks these do not go cheap.
And... it seems that I'm not the only one with this problem

So, before I go and toast my money on these, does anyone have a suggestion?
Can this be found cheaper? Used?
Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
Txs.
