964 Not holding ignition key
Hi I have a 1990 C4 and the ignition is not holding the key, you can basically slide out the key when its started, and start the car with any type of key.
Any ideas what has gone wrong? |

I would try a lock lubricant before taking it apart.

It’s the actual ignition Switch not the springs, tumblers (Wafers).
