+1.

although i had an audi that did that once in awhile. i kept messing with clutch switch and even bypassed it and to this day i'm not sure if that was it.

it was so sporadic i never was able to figure it out.

i even had to pop start the car a couple of times. then it went away, and never came back.

 

Mine was not starting and it was the transponder in the key.
Try a different key?

Regards Mika

 

my key is out of battery lol
i unlock the door manually

 

guys, it's not the key for me.

 

Mr Choi did you get this issue resolved?

 

Had the same problem yesturday,let it sit for about 20mins then tried it again and it turned on. But now my check engine light came on lastnight..Ehh

 

not yet, bud. it was 19 degrees this morning and i attempted tos tart the car. same thing. 2nd try a few seconds later bam it starts like normal.

 

yeah. mine still has the problem too
it makes sense if it's the clutch switch

 

Hey Ben, i had a similar issue on my car, when I did all the work this past summer I replaced the Starter Solenoid and it has worked perfect since. By how much you are driving the car right now it may be something you can live with till spring..

Merry Christmas to you and your family Ben!!

 

thx bud, yea it's happening because my car's been sitting in the garage more often than usual. stay safe and happy

 

does it make any difference if you put the key in and immediate turn it to start the car, vs. put the key in - click it over only far enough to run the oil level check - then click it over to the next notch to start the car?

 

don't matta

 

You just had it in the shop and all checked out OK. So, what did they have to say about this issue?
Let me guess.... "If we can't reproduce the problem, we can't diagnose it."

 

hence my reply to this thread. Didn't you get them to sort that problem out me'ol chap
