[V8] ignition lock

Agreed,
​Kent.​
.  Remove the instrument cluster and the ignition switch is right there
just below the innards to the right of the column.  Scratch
​​
away the red locktite, loosen but don't remove the set screw revealed by
getting the locktite out,
​ Take care not to fully remove the set screw.  It will be hard to find on
the floor​
The electrical portion of the switch will come out pretty easily.  Don't
get too excited or a blood sacrifice to the Audi gods may be required.
(Sharp metal edges in there.)

At least that's how it's done for my 95.5 urS6.

removing column!

I replaced the electrical switch portion (not the tumbler portion) of
the switch in my 200? No, 100 V6, as it had an automatic interlock
(maybe both, it’s been almost 20 years!). I recall you take out the
cluster, exposing the switch. There’s a tiny set screw under a dab of
red paint that is unscrewed, letting you pull the electrical switch
away from the tumbler half.
