Intermittent starting problem, sometimes it just clicks and doesn't start, take key out and back in and it starts up. Figured it must be the ignition switch. Can anybody confirm this is the part I need? 4A0905849A
There are a few different part numbered versions which I don't think are interchangable so best to check what version you have. OEM were still available from the dealer last year too.
spot on. 96 invariably is dealer only. its for the transponder version. they look the same but are not. the
non transponder is about a 5 er of ebay or ecp.

If you ask ETKA about 4A0905849A, it says it was dropped in 2002 in favour of a 4A0905849C
If you just ask for a 1996 Coupe quattro (including the S2), you get 4A0905849B. I do NOT know the difference between the 849C and the 849B. The 849B is now used on many older Audis.
RS2'd 93 UrS4 5 spd sedan
94 UrS4 V8 6 spd manual avant
the difference is the location part shape off the barrel to the switch. it wont fit properly. its an almost. there. if you get the wrong part basically it jams up and wont turn.
sometimes I think audi just have big buckets of bits and use whatever comes to hand. especially on s cars.
mine was a 96 aby. it had the immobiliser and had the costly ign switch. could not fignd it anywhere except audi. I changed the barrel and fitted the cheap starter. think it was 45 quid from audi or 5 quid from ecp. either way if you go gsf or ecp and order one only 1 type comes, the early type.
All good now Gazza, just got the ebay switch, fitted and no more issues now
Was there any noticable damage to your old one?
Just fitted a new one to my 95 S2 avant and my key won't turn in the barrel even though it looks identical to the original. The number on the original fitted to my car is 4A0905849.
Yes upon removal there was a piece of plastic which was broken off partially and that was most likely the issue. I would say probably the one you got is the other version ending in B and you need the one just like I bought which seemed to do the trick
