Start car in the morning – all is fine, car starts and runs fine. A few short journeys, later, (stop leave for twenty minutes, each time), return to car and it refuses to start. Turn the key, and depress the clutch pedal, press the button – it turns over but will not fire. Double check you have depressed the clutch pedal to the floor – and try a second and a third time – and still nothing!
Leave car – come back 5 minutes later and it fires up and runs. Now when this first happened three weeks after buying the car, I put it down to a one off, due to severe weather, ( - or me loosing my touch, or something..). but in the past three weeks it as happened more regularly, and the ‘recovery time’ as increased to maybe 30 minutes).
This past weekend it happened on two consecutive days - and I refuse to use it for fear of becoming stranded.
I’ve phoned the Audi assist, they tell me to speak with Audi breakdown/ the dealer. Under the circumstances I’ve logged the car into the local Audi dealer, (a different one to the one I bought it from) – they promised to take a look this Friday. I’m without a car just now, as I can’t trust this one to start – and you can’t leave the engine running all day, can you
Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas / I guess I’m trying to predict what the local Audi dealer will say, concerning the fault and the warranty aspects.
