Hey everyone,

I figured that I would come to the Audi forum to ask this question. I have a 2004 Nogaro Blue S4. For the last two months, this car will not start when it's cold. When I turn the key, it acts as if the clutch isn't pressed in when I start it. After turning the key, walking away and starting it again, it will eventually start. It's taken as little as two minutes and up to many as 20 minutes to get the car going. It's quite frustrating. I've had in and out of the dealer many times in the last two months. They know the problem exists, but they can't find the issue. It seems as if I might need to do my own sleuthing. Anyone else have this issue? I can't go to the lemon law on this because I've had the car for over two years. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

 

I have not heard of this problem with any other b6s4s. This seems to be an extension of the "curse of the nogaro"

 

2004 S4?? last one on my database is 2002 has it got the CEL light on? there will be codes stored and im just going to have a guess at coolant temp sensor because its famous for that when its going down
