Door lock binding, TSB




 In the recent past I've offered my opinion re: the cause of door lock will
 binding after replacement of the failed lever in the locking mechanism.
 I found a TSB on this binding problem and it is >not< due to wrong
 orientation of one of the parts, which was the reason I had given.  I don't
 remember where I got that bit of wrong info.

 The TSB has a sketch which is worth 1000 words I'm sure.
 The TSB is # 94-04, entitled "Door Lock Key Binding"
 It says:
 Condition:  After installation of new style operating lever the key may
 bind in the door lock.

 Increased diameter of operating lever, p/n 893 837 287A/288A causes
 interference with lock rod clip.

 Service:  Slightly bevel the edge of white clip.  Only remove enough
 material to obtain clearance, to allow operating lever to rotate without
 binding.

 In addition it has labels and arrows pointing to the relevant places of the
 sketch.
 Unfortunately I'm not setup to send the image electronically.  This TSB is
 on the AllData CD, BTW.  I don't know of any other place to obtain these.
 Has anybody ever tried to get access to them at an Audi Dealer?
