2000 Audi A6 starting problems

I have a 2000 Audi A6 with 215,000 miles that I bought used 8 months ago. I recently took it to a mechanic because of intermittent times when it simply wouldn't start. He said the problem was due to a "remote starter" that was interfering with the fuel pump...and consequently, removed all the wiring associated with the remote starter and.... he replaced the fuel pump (ouch!!). The problem persists. I took it back to the mechanic and he said he couldn't figure it out! I can drive the car just fine for a while, but when I stop and turn it off...it won't start again unless I wait for an hour or so......no pattern to this....it is random. Sometimes it may start....most often it won't unless I wait for a while......HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions????

Start with your starter and make sure it's not stuck out and getting too hot. Starters in a simple explanation come out to make contact with the fly wheel and start the car then retract when not being used.

1998 Audi A4 Quattro Sedan 2.8L Major viberation at 15 mph in center of the car. Under 15mph it smoothes out. Feels like rear drive shaft or u-joint is shot but I'm not familiar with Audi. It started a...

have you checked your calipers? They may be sticking putting lots of strain onto the drive shaft causing it to vibrate.

With all the recent snow and grit on the roads you may have some caught in the mechanism meaning it cant release.

Just a small thought to start to determine the problem.

I want to buy an Audi A6 and have two options: i- 2001 Audi A6 with 92,000 miles on it or ii- 1999 Audi A6 with 66,000 miles on it.. Which one would you recommend?

With the year difference only being two years apart I would go with the lower mileage vehicle.But remember that just because it's lower mileage doesn't mean it's in better shape mechanically.A quick trip to your trusted auto mechanic and a small charge of $25 per car can get you a prepurchase inspection, which will tell you any problems the vehicle might have, aka oil/fluid leaks, etc.I hope I could help.....get back to me with any questions

Hi, I bought used Audi A6 Quattro 130K miles. For the first several days, it run without any problem. Early this month, I was driving a rather hilly highway and the car start to drive rough,hearing some...

I would check to see if the catalyic converter is clogged. Drop the tail pipe at the manifold. Start and drive it for a block you will be able to tell real quick. It should run smooth and have good power. It will just be noisy. Or you could have coil problems.
