Hello All!

Just a quick one i noticed my rs4 turns over 3 times before it fires its always done it and battery is healthy and always on a trickle charger when not in use wondered if anyone elses does it? When its warm fires right up. Not turning over lazy or anything just takes about 3 turns then fires up.

Yes, same with mine (MY2019). I think it’s well odd, but no previous dealer visit has raised an issue.

I have to admit, of the 7 Audi’s I’ve owned, this seems the poorest built.

Hey Harey,

Yes i agree the build of the later audi's is not the same as my old b8 at all, as they say they dont make them like they used to! The cold start thing really bugs me as no other car of this level does it, even my b8 used to fire quicker. When its warm it fires right up on the first turn weird as hell! I even did the plugs incase they where worn which i doubt at 20k but still exactly the same

Is it not waiting for oil pressure to build up?

Had never even noticed this before but my car does the same. Will keep an eye out when the weather turns warm.
