My Audi a4 will not start first time but will after a few turns of the key. I have just had it serviced and been told it could be my cambelt has slipped a tooth i thought it would not run if it has slipped a tooth?
It will run with timing belt off only a couple of teeth
That could be your problem, as you were told,still have
to do some kind of testing or look at some data
What troubles me, is you paid for something & expected
results.
When you say serviced, I will assume you talking a dealer
possibly,not that it matters where you went,they should be
checking the entire car.
Not to pitch you more work or expense,but to inform you
of the vehicles overall condition.
That doesn't seem to ever be done
I actually stop using all my vehicles for up to a
week,sometimes twice a year & go completely
thru them. I have done that for 50 years come the
end of this month. I have problems like everyone,
but I also know what does work & the overall condition
of most of the vehicle.
There is no guessing when something happens,I go
to the things I don't know about,as I know how
everything else is performing

get a scan done on the central convenience that will give you a code to start with,but it sounds like a controller fault
SOURCE: I have a 96 audi a6 and the key is now stuck in
I have 96 Audi A6 too. It's the problem of heart of ignition. It won't go back to the original position so your key will not be able to pull out. I had this problem before. I have to bring the car back to dealer to change the switch. It costs about $300. This is after about 5 years of the new car. The replacement lasts about another 5 years. My key got stuck again. I had to change it 2nd time. It is good so far.
SOURCE: audi A4 key will not come out after turning engine off
I had this as well, but you just have to wait a second. You can't remove it to quickly, the car takes a second to essentially unlatch the key.
SOURCE: 2005 Audi A4 1.8 Fuel Pump problem?
I had an Audi A4, 10 years older than yours mind you, but it would start then stop, sometimes 10 times but would eventually go. I ran a little WD40 in the key barrel and put the key in and out a couple of dozen times. Wiping it with a cloth each time, lots of dirt came off. My theory and it's only mine, is that the wear on the key left dirty metal deposits inside which stopped the chip in the key being recognised. I believe they had a security chip inside the key.
Anyway after 6 months of this nuisance it never happened again after that. Fixed my problem and a lot of frustration. Maybe help you too.
