Strange temporary starting issue...

Post by H4GNM » Thu Mar 04, 2021 4:52 pm

Well, I went out to my RS6 this morning, put the key in the ignition and.... nothing. You know when you insert the key and the electrics are activated? Not even that. Turned the key. Nothing, not even a click.
So, I sat there and started Googling on my phone for clues about what the issue might be, when I heard a electrical click and the indicators flashed a bit like when it's unlocked (yes, I'd already checked that, and locked/unlocked it a few times). Inserted the key again, and hey presto, it started.
I'm now a bit worried that I have a problem looming and next time I won't be at home when it happens!
Anyone else had anything similar? Do you think I have anything to be worried about?

I'd say that sounds a bit like an immobiliser issue looming. Or perhaps just an issue with the ignition barrel.
