[urq] A new project : a 5000TD !

 I'd take the 'other' lock cylinder out (hopefully PS as those tend to be the original) and try making a cut with that side.  You can remove the lock cylinder itself, but that's a much bigger job to get to the point of drilling.  With disc tumblers, it might actually prove cheaper to have a locksmith do an on-site rough cut ignition key.

You can remove the lock cilinder by drilling a 3mm hole .
Then push a spring back with a small screwdriver or an allen key , and the 
lock
cilinder comes out .
Then you put in a new one , avaialible here for 25€ , or you adapt the old 
one
to the new key's  you have  and continue using it .

I have a pdf somewhere with the exact location wherre to drill that hole .
I 'llook  kit up tonight .

Btw , these auto gearboxes are not the best audi ever made .
Most of them fail at 150.000km .
Be sure to service it .
