How Can I Fix the Steering Wheel Lock on My Audi 80?

I noticed that my steering wheel is locked and won't turn when I try to start my Audi 80. What could be causing this issue and how can I resolve it?

First, try to turn the wheel back and forth while also trying to start the car. This will help release any pressure on the lock mechanism and may allow the steering wheel to turn.

If that doesn't work, check to see if there is a problem with the key or ignition switch. Sometimes these can become damaged or worn and may need to be replaced.

You may also want to try using a spare key, as your current key may be worn or damaged and causing issues with the locking mechanism. If the spare key works, then you'll know it's time for a new key.
