With the exception of the front trunk lock I've had to reconfigure the wafers in all my locks to get the key to turn smoothly. Everything has been keyed with the black key, the red key seems to not be for this car.
I'm working on the ignition key now and the key turned enough to start the car, but sometimes would catch and require a little wiggling. After opening the assembly, I notice some of the wafers stand slightly proud above the cylinder. Does anybody know: 1) Do the wafers wear over time and I actually have the right wafers? 2) How many wafer types are there? 3) These wafers on ebay match dimensions. Any opinion if these will work on our cars? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Refill-Pack-For-ES...m4383.l4275.c10 |

usually it is the key that wears not the wafer, those look like they will work perfectly. There are 1-4 in a 914
When we recut keys we look at old key heightes 1-4 for the wafers and then program the machine for that combination of 1-4 winding up cutting a perfect key not copying one QUOTE(Highland @ Sep 11 2019, 07:23 AM)  With the exception of the front trunk lock I've had to reconfigure the wafers in all my locks to get the key to turn smoothly.
