aftermarket one or one from the dealer?
I used an aftermarket ign switch in my '91 Passat and it lasted about 1
week.

So if you unplug it does the engine and all turn off?
Yep seems like the ign. switch to me.

One other thing to check. One the T44 series there was a common problem with the
ignition which was due to a pot metal tab that bent and broke in the assembly
that operated the electrical part of the ignition switch. The fix was to fix the
mechanical part of the switch not the electrical. I am not sure if this is
possible in your '93 Audi 90 but might be worth checking.
