Dear all,

May I ask for some help and advice please?

My misses got into her A4 this morning as normal and tried to fire it up but all that happens is that there is a rapid, loud 'buzzing' noise coming from the engine compartment. The engine does not even try to turn over.

I'm no mechanic, but to me it sounded like the starter motor wasn't engaging. Can anyone offer me any clues as to what the problem might be please?

It was running fine last week, no issues at all and has been parked in the garage over the weekend.

If it helps the car is an 04, 2.5 diesel, 4 door, automatic with about 80k miles.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks Johnny.
