So i have a 1998 audi a4 quattro. i wasnt driving it over the winter and it sat outside. The battery was stone dead. i tried to jump it but the key wasnt turning the starter. I did a hot shot to the starter and it started fine. What do u think the problem could be? please help!!

 

Id get a new battery first.

 

Yes I'm getting it but I was wondering if anyone had something similar happen. Hopefully it isn't computer related

 

same thing happened to me when i went out of town for 10 days this past winter. I trusted my brother to start it for me but he forgot and when i got back the car wouldn't start, it wouldn't even take a jump. The battery was on the older side too. Dumped a new battery in there and started up fine.

 

That's great to know. Thanks guys
