my low mileage creampuff 1995 model 90 is in shop for its 6th ignition
switch.
does anyone know anything about this situation?

[dave AKA vwdoc1]

Are these switches from the Audi dealer or aftermarket switches.
I recommend the dealer switches since sometimes the aftermarkets are not as
well built! BUT sometimes even the dealer stuff will have problems.

later,
dave
