Help! Car Wont Start! No Power!

[Anthony*1989]

Hello guys I'm in desperate need of help. Last night I noticed my headlights flash randomly when it was parked up. Early hours of this morning the alarm went off. I disarmed it with the fob and went back to sleep. I've come to go out this morning and these lights are on the dash, but other than that doesn't seem to be any power to the car at all. It also wont let me take my key back out. Please help!

Is the battery flat?

This may help.

An uncurled paperclip will allow you to remove the key, the hole to put it in is at about 9 o'clock on the ignition surround.

You've not stated:

a) What type of driving you've done recently, so if you've only done short journeys it may be flat
b) How old your battery is?
c) When if ever you've charged your battery?
d) If you have VCDS and are able to scan the car (which will of course need power)
e) The last time you checked your battery connections?

Most just call a breakdown service when their car won't start, at least it's safe and you've not broken down away from home :)

From his picture he has power so the battery is working to some extent.

He does not say if the car tries to turn over or just dies when attempting a start.

Sorry guys, it turned out to be a flat battery. I've only had the car a few weeks. Battery was completely flat, it didn't even try to turn over, interior lights wouldnt come on etc. But the car gets used every day and I've had no issues with this until now. I noticed the headlights flashed on it last night just on there own, and then at 5.30 this morning the alarm was going off. When I came out to it to go out this morning it was unlocked, but completely dead. Luckily I have a multi-meter so I can keep any eye on it and see if it drains the battery again tonight. In fact, I'm going to plug vcds into it now just to see if any codes have popped up

[Anthony*1989]

Okay just went out to the car, it started up okay, turned it off again, ran vcds and got the following scan, a few minutes later and battery dead again =S

Get it on a charger overnight using the underbonnet charging points

Also check that the battery is the correct one for your car, it should be one of these:

Varta Silver Car Battery / Varta Batteries / Batteries by Application (http://www.batterymegastore.co.uk/product/I1/)

Or the Bosch equivalent (which is usually £30 more)

Many used car places that sell cars on may replace a battery with the smallest/cheapest one they can find...which may not meet the needs of all of your electronic wiz bangs.

Have you never had a battery go flat on you before?:p

It is indeed a big massive varta just like that. And yes I have had battery go flat on a car before, but I think its just weird that 1 day its at 100% and the next it is dead. I've just done a 40 mile drive... to charge the battery and also to do dpf regeneration. Battery was at about 30% after I jumped it, come back from drive and now at 100%. What is very weird is (and i know some of you may think this is crazy talk), when I just got out of the car, it locked itself automatically as soon as I closed the door. I tried to open with the fob and it wouldn't open, I tried again, it opened, I closed the door it locked on its own straight away. Tried to open again, wouldn't open for a few seconds and so on! Okay so here is where you may think I'm nuts. My previous car is a 57reg Volvo S40, that's sat on the drive next to the Audi, the other day I remember the alarm went off for some reason, anyway I ignored it and it eventually stopped. When I got out the audi after the drive just now I noticed the volvo alarm led on the dash was flashing very quickly, probably to tell me it had been triggered. I went and got the key, unlocked car, started it up shut it off and locked it again. Alarm LED is now flashing just every now and then as it should. But the Audi will lock/unlock no problem now. So I feel stupid asking this, is there any kind of possible way that the volvo has had some sort of affect on the audi...not so much with the battery drain... but with the fob's frequency (causing delayed unlock and automatic locking) ??? I know it sounds crazy but I have no other logical explanation.

[MarkTM]

I know my A6 is not well liked by my profile picture car and visa versa :Blush:

Only way to tell is to park them apart (volvo down the street) and see if it still locks itself in the same manner.

When I run diagnostics on my A6 I usually have my charger connected to the points, mainly because I have DRL's activated and they can flatten a fully charged battery within 90 minutes, so on a weak one am guessing only a few.

If your DRL's are on and your lights are in 'auto' then switch them all off when running VCDS.

PS: I had a faulty alternator on my car which wasn't charging the battery properly...you'll only know that if your voltmeter shows below 14.4v going to the battery under load. If that happens could be a faulty regulator on the alt. But first things first get your battery charged up fully with a charger.
PPS: The in-car battery meter is not reliable, mine showed 100% but it took my CTEK charger 3 days to fully condition the battery and state it was full

[Anthony*1989]

By DRL do you mean the LED's in the lower grills on the bumper or the lights set to AUTO , as I don't think I have the DRL LED's

[MarkTM]

Easiest to say, when running scans on your car no external lights should be on as they drain the battery.

I have a voltmeter....when you say under load...will the car sat idling with blowers, seats, music, lights all going suffice?

[dan2485]

Under load is with as much as possible on at the same time.

All toys on etc.

[niall campbell]

I am keeping an eye on this as have a similar problem.

[niall campbell]

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251556438504 I am going to buy this & fit it myself and see what happens

[Rob69]

Anthony, if your car is 58 plate and it still has the original battery fitted then it is likely to need changing. The battery sounds like its struggling to hold a charge, it will charge up and show full after a long drive but quickly drop down overnight. Your vcds shows 13.8V while running at idle, which suggests the alternator is doing its job and the fact you got the battery charged after a longish drive. You can see voltage down to 7V overnight when the electronics freak out. Our touran pulled this stunt on us on christmas morning, battery was 9 years old though. I've just changed a pals battery for same issues, dash freaking out etc, similar codes logged as well.

[Anthony*1989]

Well I came out this morning and car unlocked and started with no problem. Battery meter still showing at 100%

The "battery meter" is a pretty poor device. It's not much more than a rough guess by the ECU. If you are on the original battery it is likely that it's time for a new one. 13.8V at idle is a bit low but may indicate a heavily discharged battery / or a battery with high internal resistance ( = goosed). On raising the revs up to 2000 or so, 14.2 - 14.5V would be normal, dependent on how many electrical loads you had switched in. The other issue for you to consider is the software build of the MMI; early builds contained a bug which did not properly shut the radio down when turning off. You can mitigate this to some extent by remembering to positively turn the MMI off before turning the engine off, but a better solution is to get the MMI upgrade discs from Audi (about 7 quid) and do the upgrade yourself. I had a couple of battery drain events which have not reoccurred since upgrading the MMI software (crossed fingers and lucky rabbits foot).

[niall campbell]

How do you check the software version on the MMi ?

[Anthony*1989]

To find out your current MMI High 2G update level enter these menu topics:
RADIO > SETUP > SETTINGS > VERSION

[niall campbell]

Ok thanks, whats the latest version ?

[inspectorman63]

5570. It's not completely obvious, the figure you get on finding the software version. You will see something like this when you carry out the check to see which MMI version you have; SW:C6-HU 21.2.0 0534. This means it is version 2120.

If the version is as low as 1110 apparently you have to update to 5150 before upgrading to 5570. I think this just means you go throught the update process twice rather than two sets of update CDs.

Search for TSB dated 5 March 2007 number 2014127/1 for some more background to your (possible) issue.
