My key won't work in my dead bolt door lock. I can turn the lock from the inside fine and also when the door is open. But I can't use my key to lock the door. Any suggestions?

Bad key? It could be the mechanism inside. There is a part of the mechanism that is only for the key. It has nothing to do with the inside latch. It could be something inside is worn out or the tumblers that hold the key signature are worn or upset somehow. This is one of those things that requires experience. I would take it off the door and bring it to a locksmith. You can get one to your house if you can't leave the door without the deadbolt, but it'll cost you to get him there. It may be easier to replace it. Deadbolts are not very expensive these days and are fairly easy to install.

If the boot, or trunk cannot be locked with the key on a United Kingdom 1999 Passat 1.9 TDI, the lock might have rusted. Spray the lock with a lubricant such as WD-40 or any bolt loosening agent. There might also be something caught in the lock from the inside.

How do you replace a water pump where you broke a bolt I cant get the broken bolt out. Can I replace the water pump with 4 bolts instead of 5.?
After removing the pump, if part of the bolt is sticking out, you may be able to grab it with vice grip pliers. Using a penetrating oil is also a good idea. If you cant grab the bolt, you may try a device called an e-z out. You will have to drill a hole in the bolt of the proper size then insert the e-z out in the hole and turn it with a wrench to remove the bolt. as a last resort the bolt can be drilled out then new threads inserted in the engine by a device known as a helicoil. This may have to be done at a garage by a mechanic.

The back bolt for the EGR valve on my 89 Grand Wagoneer is frozen I have used LW for days. Wrenches slip of when force is applied. No clerance for bolt out or sockets. Any suggestions?
if you have the room you need to use a punch and put it squarely on the head of the bolt and use a hammer and hit it repeatedly with moderate to light pressure this will take a lot of time and Patience but what you are doing is creating vibration on the bolt that will loosen the rust holding it. The vibration is essentially what an impact wrench will do to break it loose. this is just the old fashion slow way if you cant get to it with any thing else.
