Ignition key hole(hard to insert and remove key)

[WRC323]

I know this is an old thread but thought I's post here rather than start a new one.

We've just had the same issue with our Ignition. Noticed the key hard to insert and remove, then the radio stayed on after removing the key.

Spoke to my local Porsche dealer who thought the same. He suggested speaking to Audi to get the switch (4A0905849B) as Porsche only sell the entire ignition assembly now. He thought the switch would cost ~ $120 Aussie dollars.

So I went to ebay, found a local seller offering them for $30. Now I wait a couple of days for it to be delivered, which isn't a drama as it's in the body shop getting some repairs now anyway.
