Another Column Lock Question
Is the Column Lock only a MN6 problem or also an A4 problem? :confused:

Happens on both. After 2001, it was eliminated on the autos but remains on the MN6.

Re: Another Column Lock Question (RICKYVETTE)
My 2000 A4 is in my garage - right now - with the column locked.
I owned the car since October 1999.
No warning - I just started the car this past Sunday and got the message and the column locked.
I'm now trying to get the car to the dealer. I'm hoping to somehow unlock the column to avoid towing the car.
Good luck.

Pull you wheel to the right and keep on turning the key in the ignition lock from left to right and back.

PeterK ...
Thanks for the suggestion.
Constant pressure on the wheel or a jerking motion?
Thanks,
