driver's door will not open (unlocked)

[Kneale Brownson]

This sounds like it's making a good case for my previously reported
practice of spraying a penetrating lube with teflon in it into the doorjamb
fixture at least twice a year.  I go around to all the Audis in my yard
with this spray can and one of those little red straws and lube the locks,
the doorjamb fixture and the handles.  I started doing this when I had
several Team Doorhandle era cars (down to one useable 4kq now) after a
couple of broken handles, and I've never had another one.  The stuff I use
is made by Radiator Specialty Co. and sold under its Gunk brand.  It's
product # L5-08.  For the flush door handles on my 200s and V8s, I pull the
lever out and run the straw in between the handle and the opening in the
doorskin.  Keeps the handles opening smoothly and easily.
