Broken Key in Ignition
HAD TO PASS THIS ON......Broke the key at the hilt tried picking tools crazy glue... Read all threads for this problem found no results....only suggestions...Long story short... I used Tri-flow superior lubricant....then used two Sewing Machine Needles....one on each side in the key slots at an angle pressing then pulling outward....out she came ...... Jim

Kinda remind's me of a dark and stormy night in Virginia Beach and the same thing happened to my 912. I was 300 miles from home and had to walk two miles to my hotel room. Wet, cold and really pissed. I returned the next day and fished it out with the tweasers from my swiss army knife. Hitched to a Porsche dealer and had a new one made from the ssn. I learned to watch the wear on any car key.
