key will not turn in ignition switch
I have a 1985 Audi 5000,sometimes when I put the key in the switch and try to turn it the key will not turn but ten degrees. However if I work it for sometimes up to ten minutes it will turn.The steering lock is not bound up.Any ideas, do I need to take a chainsaw to the dash to get to it?

sounds like the key or the ignition is worn out. .........
try lubing the lock cylinder to see if that helps. I have also had keys get so worn that they cause the problem. Try another key, see if that helps. Hate to see you have to replace the ignition lock cylinder.
