Cheers Im new to the forum but been driving Audi's for a while now. I own a 1998 a4 and recently had some work done, new turbo,brakes,tierods, starter...... and one day the car stopped starting! The gauges flash up when the ignition is engaged but the starter does not engage at all, not even a click! It can be push started but thats all! any help is greatly appreciated! I also think that the door sensor is gone. I cant lock the car without arming the factory alarm and when i un lock it doesnt disarm, also the interior lights dont come on when you open the door. this sound familiar to any one?

btw do those symptoms above sound like a door sensor to you? it also "ding" like the door is open for about 2 min after you start it. the A4 that is.
