[Vwdiesel] Fuel Tank Sabotage!

I wonder if Vaseline or grease pumped into the locks would
prevent freezing insert key and wipe a few times to clear
xs. Smearing on door seals would work too???


  Although locks DO come new with a dab of really light grease on on 
then pins and tumbler, I don't think packing in vaseline would be a good 
idea.  (NO!  not KY either!)
  A big part of the problem is dirt.  That's where WD, Triflow, etc helps.  
It thins out the gobby grease and washes some of it and the dirt out.  
Ideally you'd want to disassemble, clean and relube with a dab of thin 
grease or even the Vaseline then and reassemble.
  Best thing I've seen to prevent sticking/freezing door seals to the jamb, 
is to spray a film of silicone on the seals and wipe.  That was part of 
our "winterizing" package at the dealer.  Works VERY well.
