RH Headlight.
I sometimes have to turn the switch on and off to get both RH headlights to go on.

- Someone suggested it was the RH Headlight Control Module how do I know if that is the case. It makes more sense to me in what you are saying because after switching back and forth they do sometimes come on. Thank you
If repeatedly turning the head light switch off and on gets the light to work i would suspect the headlight switch has a defective internal contact or a problem with the connector or both, headlight switches get heat damaged from the heavy load of the lights and are the most common switch to fail in most cars, I would replace the switch and check the connector for evidence of overheating/burned contacts, the switch connector will many times be melted or discolored, if that is the case always replace the switch and the connector, Audi can supply the connector, but a skilled automotive technician should install it, if the spliced in new switch connector is not done properly you will be in for more head light problems down the road. the headlight switch is part of a pod and the part comes with the trim it sits in, it just snaps out of the dash. here is the part number and price from www.rockauto.com. AIRTEX Part # 1S7081 Price $195.79
Check as well the relay of the lights if they are still working. If you can swap them just to test if it will happen on the other light. If it does it may be a bad relay. Other than that you may have to check the socket of the headlamp or the wiring.

I have a 2001 Audi TT, and occassionally (since the spring) I will go to start it and it wont start for a few tries, it will turn over but then cuts off immediately, there is also a sound under the engine when it does this..almost like a fan that continues to run for a second. Actually, getting it started now take about 6-7 tries.
Not sure if there is a relation, but just before my last oil change I got a service light (it said 300 miles), the car has 120,000 miles and it had a 100,000 mile tune up. Was told it may have been from a previous oil change and the computer was not reset.
