Key hard to remove from 996 ignition lock

[NBTBRV8]

Guys,

Today my key became hard to remove from the ignition lock, I presume it needs lubricating. Has anyone else had this problem? If I need to change my ignition lock I presume it is a dealer job as it would need coding? Also would I need to change my keys/door locks?

Hi,

When you remove the key does it make a positve "click" ? You won't need a dealer for this as no coding needed.

You may need a new ignition lock mechanism which is roughly £90 and you keep the key section so no need for keys or locks.

If you need any tech info email me and i will email you back.
