Unless the mechanical part is broken there is no need to. The part is so easy to replace i would just replace it every 10 years at least that's when mine needed servicing. I bought the audi part for 30$ but there are aftermarket replacements at much lower prices. I'm not sure if they're the same quality but they are all relatively cheap. I found the hardest part was removing the ac duct. Mine came out easier from the side facing the center console.

Ignition switch.

I did 3 in the 6 years I owned the car.

When you go shopping, you may as well pick up a spare.

@ Springman, that part number is correct. Replaced mine today, $11.00 shipped on eBay. I have a '99 Base that I picked up a few months back.
Thanks to the good folks here, diagnosed the problem and learned how to put it in. I chose to go with the left side vent removal method. Not too bad of a job. Next time will be easier.

Thanks guys I picked up the part at the local Napa Auto for exactly $10. I pulled out the lower AC vent then had my friend who is a contortionist unscrew it. Works great. I can only imagine what the local dealer would have charged for that job. Thanks for all the help!
