When ignition key broke off in my '86 CGT I found that by drilling out the
lock, the method is in the Bentley. That is to say drilling the small hole
in the steering column to gain access to the little spring clip holding the
lock cylinder in and depressing it with a small drift. Once the cylinder is
removed a small flat blade screwdriver can be inserted in place of the
lockclyinder, and a dime could override the steering lock, it worked great
for me while I waited for a new cylinder.

Hey all,
While searching through a junkyard in rural Louisiana where I live I came
across an amazing site, a nearly pritine '86 or '87 coupe gt. I know, I
know it's in a junkyard for crissake, yeah but I just believe that I can get
it started. It looks like it was involved in a fender bender...the interior
is in incredible shape, red leather, it's looks to have a digital display?
I'm usually involved with volvos. When I lifted the hood I was impressed by
the site of the metal sheathed injector hose. The car got wacked in the
front and the impact cracked what seems to be the upper portion of the A/C
compressor, is it in two parts? I plan to bring a crowbar, some gas and a
battery on my next visit. If I get hotwire instructions I'll be able to see
if the thing will start. Since you're all familiar with models like this
one are there any particularities about audi's that might prevent a start
up, for instance lots of volvo's fuel relays fail, leaving the unfamiliar
with a dead car and no clue. I positive many people have sent cars to the
junkyard for such a reason. I guess the car was running just before it got
wrecked, perhaps the person just didn't have the money to get it fixed, I
really want to give it a shot so if anyone knows how to hot wire a coupe gt
and can give me some instructions I'd really appreciate it. Talk about a
sexy car.
Best Regards,
Josh Lasserre
