Ok, I'm just throwing this out there:
Wifey leaves in 2004 B5.5 wagon auto with 1.8t to go to church tonight.
She stops at a store to pick up some items for the meeting gets back in car to start it and swears that the ignition switch rotated 360* w/o starting car.
She calls me and I start loading up kids into the minivan to save her and have car towed.
She then calls me back after 4 minutes and states that it is working and I ask her to drive home.
I tried and tried to get it to spin around and car is working just normal.
I will drive car tomorrow and test it againm, but I am thinking she stuck the key into the rubber seal around the cylinder.
I pitched this idea to her and got the heck no you didn't look, so I am just going to ask if this has ever happened to anyone else?
Thanks for any experiences and things to look for.
