    Hi all. New to this forum. Im having trouble starting my car first time. It will crank continually without firing up, I will to pull the key out to stop it crank in and straight after I get a low oil level warning then when I go to start it the second time it fires up fine. Anyone else have this problem?.

    Had a new starter put in. Also some cold mornings the battery dies altogether and needs a jump. Not sure if this is related to the first problem.

    Cheers

    I had a mechanic plug it in to his laptop with no errors showing up. Might have to bring it in to the Audi dealer. Thanks

    so every time now, it will crank, but will fire up only after you remove key and start again?

    dead battery...could be drain,bad charging,wiring,battery!

    That's correct. It only happens once every few days. When I first push the key in to start, it will keep cranking over put wont fire up. I then have to to take the key out and try it again, after which starts up 2nd time. Battery is showing over 12v.

    Just got back from the Audi dealer. Apparently it is a week battery. They checked it while it was running only reading 8.9v. biggest shock was to find that 2 motor mount and gearbox mount would cost 1200e

    Audi dealer prices are well known! Try to get genuine Lemförder mounts and some good repair shop, and you will save "few" pounds!

    Still strange those battery test results !
