Given that Audi locks need occaisional lubrication lest they (pardon 
the pun) Lock-up, and given that my driver's side lock has busted,
and given that the passenger side is getting tight, and given that
I'm too cheap to fix the driver's side, and too lazy to take apart the
passenger side to lubricate it,  What would you all think of squirting
some WD40 into the lock to loosen it up?  Would the penetrating oil
eat away at the grease, causing a fairly near term failure?

Or should I take my wife's advice and get the damned thing fixed?

I always thought one should lubricate locks only with graphite.
Buy some at hardware store in little squeeze tube, about $1.
