Ok guys,

Another thing for me to spend money on. I Lost the spare key and i dont want some one to pick it up off the street and steal my god dam car. Anybody got a quote for full lock replacment for the 98 Audi A4 2.8L 30V Quattro Manual? Low and High balls.

the chances of someone finding your key, then finding the exact car it goes to are very slim. i know to get the whole car re-keyed (new set of keys, ignition, two doors and the trunk lock) is probably going to be $1000-$2000 because its only possible for a dealer to do the work.

The key is attached to a card that says '98 Audi A4 Black'. Thats why im worried. They know exactly what the fu*kin look for.

why only the dealer?

only an Audi dealer will sell you replacement ignition and door locks and the keys that go with them. i suppose you could just buy the locks and have another garage do the install, or DIY. but they are still going to charge you out the ass for the parts unfortunately.

Ap-Specialties parts out running cars - so they would have everything you need. Still sounds like a bitch to replace everything

this suck so much ass, how much you guys think for the entire lock system for a doner car from a junk yard or something would cost? at least $500 probally right. i wana kill someone right now.

thanks guys.

Well instead of worrying about that why, if your going to spend the money why not look into theft coverage? Or a less expensive anti-theft device

From the dealer it will take maybe 2-3 weeks to get them from Germany, new keys, ignition, 2 doors, trunk. And very expensive. Maybe from ap you can get it all together but you have to call them. Pm if you are looking for someone to install. I'm on longisland.
