Intermittent starting issues with 2012 Audi A6

Asked by Shannon Oct 26, 2016 at 04:36 PM about the 2012 Audi A6 3.0T quattro Premium Sedan AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Sometimes the car starts right up. Sometimes the car turns over but will not
start. If I wait a while after several attempts, it will finally start. And then there
are times where it will not turn over at all. And then after a while it starts like
there has never been an issue. In all cases, there is power as the radio and
all other accessories and lights work without issue. Any suggestions?

Help! I am having this exact issue on my 2012 audi a6. Power relay has been replaced, battery replaced and software updated. The issue remains exactly the same. Some days it acts like there is nothing wrong and other times it takes 3-4 times before it starts.
