A4 2000 petrol automatic starting problem

Featured Replies

Hi I am new to the forum I just came across it so hello everyone! I have recently been having a problem with my car it starts first time on the key and its a sweet drive but when I stop the engine to say get petrol the car won"t start sometimes it will other times I have to leave it about 10 minutes and it will then start on the key I am sure other's have had this problem so advice needed. Thanks   

Welcome to the forum Vivian you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

Have you had a diagnostic check carried out on the car at all? If not, then it would be recommend. 

I'm wondering if the car is having trouble starting when the engine is warm. Are all the dials showing any issues? Ie temp? 

Sorry I can't help more

Cheers

Steve

Hmm, what does your hand book say? 

I'd like to think it's just a sensor to be honest. I say this because you've not experienced any over heating.

The problem has now been fixed it was the coolant temperature sensor out of range! So the total cost was £60 for the sensor and £40 labour = £100 I was advised to have a genuine Audi sensor what is your opinion Steve ?
